The Amazon Mechanical Turk is a crowdsourcing Internet marketplace you may have heard about-- contractors are able to coordinate with human beings to complete any number of tasks a computer isn't able to do. Human intelligence tasks may iclude anything from transcribing, writing, drawing, emoting, recognizing patterns in photos, and more. Turkers complete the tasks for assigned amounts of money. Sounds good, right?
But what is it really like? Writer Jeremy Wilson spent a day as a Turker- what was his experience? How much money did he make? Was it a day well-worked? Would you ever want to earn money through the mechanical turk program? Kim Horcher and Tim Frisch discuss the prospects.
