Mentally scarred: Kenyan workers taught ChatGPT to recognize offensive text

Another data labeling contract not related to ChatGPT involved Sama asking employees to find nasty, pornographic and violent images portraying things like death, rape and bestiality. The content – some of which would be illegal in the US – allegedly prompted Sama to end its contracts with OpenAI by February 2022, eight months before originally planned.

The upstart will end all data labeling projects for content moderation in March 2023 and has set up an"ethics guild" – a group of employees who will review work requests, we're told., OpenAI confirmed it had worked with Sama to label data used to train ChatGPT and said there was a miscommunication about the types of images they wanted to collect. It reportedly did not want illegal images and did not view them.

Data labeling businesses like Sama say they are helping lift people out of poverty in poorer countries, but's investigation is a stark reminder that the seemingly magical abilities of AI models are built on the back of low-cost labor. "Sama has impacted over 60,000 people, sent 20 people to university through our scholarship programs, and provided $160,000 in funding for employee businesses and startups."
