- jfengel 3y agoThey don't need to switch MTurk off, at least not for the clients. They could turn off the workers, and replace them with AI. I dunno who would continue to use it, rather than use the AI engine directly, but there could be a market for it. But they'd certainly need to make certain clients knew about it, since one major use of MTurk is to do surveys and studies whose whole point is to sample human beings.

- mrguyorama 3y agoIt's probably more profitable for amazon to charge a premium for "human" work, so they will probably make using these kind of systems against the TOS while updating requirements and expectations to sort of require use of these systems to keep up.
