How much of the AI is really automated, NLP AI and how much of it is human-augmented Amazon Mechanical Turk-level Human as an AI (Augmented Intelligence or Pseudo-AI)?
- beckman466 5y agoit's funny that this is downvoted when this has been exactly the way that many Silicon Valley tech companies have run their services behind the scenes
- rexreed 5y agoThe dirty little secret that most don't even realize. Hey that's why data labeling / data annotation / human moderation companies like Scale, Labelbox, Hive, and others have been raising millions of dollars to fund their little worker armies. Someone else made a similar comment, neither of us got answers even tho the creator is commenting here on other posts, so I suspect it's a lot less automatic / automated / "AI" NLP than the site might imply.
- yreg 5y agoIsn't basic latin OCR a solved problem? I wouldn't expect to have to pay a human to be able to provide it.
- rexreed 5y agoYou'd be surprised. What if I told you Expensify uses humans to do OCR on paper receipts? You'd think computer-generated English fonts on white paper with mostly numbers would be easy for OCR. Think again. What good is a 98-99% accuracy rate when the OCR mistakes $80 for $08. It's humans in the loop. Much more than you might expect.
- yreg 5y agoIn such setting I would expect OCR to have higher accuracy than humans. Apparently I would be wrong.
