"This news should be a wake-up call for workers in the tech industry and anyone concerned about the impacts of AI on working people," Toni Allen, the union's executive board secretary, said in the statement. "As subcontractors for Google we have been a canary in the AI coal mine calling out the precarious labor conditions we face being the human workers standing between large language models and their end users."

"This is what AI work looks like when workers have no say in the process," Allen continued. "It is time that the world heard our voices before this situation repeats itself far and wide."

AI is neither artificial nor intelligent. In the end, we've just hidden the human cost from the users even further.

It's also hilarious how Google managed to become worse than DDG. Pretty sure DDG didn't have to lift a finger there in this competition.
