She Got Paid $2000 To Fix AI Mistakes

📝 From a recent article…

AI is making me extra money, says Sarah Skidd, a product marketing manager who writes for tech and start-up companies.

In May Ms Skidd was approached by a content agency to urgently rework website copy that had been produced via generative AI for a hospitality client.

What was supposed to save money had, instead, caused a host of problems.

“It was the kind of copy that you typically see in AI copy – just very basic; it wasn’t interesting,” says Ms Skidd.

“It was supposed to sell and intrigue but instead it was very vanilla.”

Ms Skidd spent about 20 hours rewriting the copy, charging $100 (£74) an hour. Rather than making small changes, she “had to redo the whole thing”.

💬 Sarah says others are getting paid for this kind of work…

“Someone connected with me and said that was 90% of their work right now. So, it’s not only me making money off such missteps, there’s other writers out there.”

Similar story for AI-coded websites: web developers are being hired to fix AI’s mistakes there, too.
