Barely adequate, or even incompetent, is perfectly fine as long as they can make money. I'm not even sure a major AI fuckup would stop the adoption of these technologies, especially because they show no sign of slowing down development. Mechanical Turks have limitations. Sure, now they are cheaper, but as soon as a barely functional (but still functional) "AI" comes along that is cheaper to use, you can wave goodbye to the digital sweatshops.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
