This makes me think that companies like Open AI, Anthropic etc are simply new types of body shoppers. body shoppers don’t have their own products they just supply talent to help other companies make products and services.



Mechanical Turk at scale.


MeTAS, ironic since quite some AI companies ended up in the news for using humans when they claimed it was AI.


And a lot of companies call themselves “AI companies” because their developers use copilot to generate code.


It’s hilarious how many apps for parents now have AI. Like, couldn’t you figure out how to calculate a mean and weight quantiles, need an LLM for that?


Body shoppers on steroids
