OpenAI used Kenyan workers on less than $2 per hour to make ChatGPT less toxic
I've been living in Kenya for the last 7 years. ChatGPT is exploiting workers. Yes many live in poverty, especially in Nairobi, but one 'good' meal on the side of the road is about $1. To put it in better perspective 1 dozen eggs cost $1.80. Even in slums there is a cost for living in something barely more than a shanty house, without running water and/or proper toilets.<p>My vote is ChatGPT is being exploitative, what they are paying should be an hourly rate. They are taking time from people with education and who speak at least two languages. Just because you can pay people less, does not mean you should.
