A viral “AI gig” advertised online is drawing criticism after a Chennai woman reportedly earns Rs 250 (about $3) per hour for filming herself doing household tasks. According to reports, the work involves recording activities such as making coffee, cutting fruit, and folding laundry. The postings have circulated widely on social media, where users and critics question the low pay and the broader practice of using everyday personal footage for AI-related purposes. Some commentary also frames the arrangement as exploitative, arguing that compensation and consent standards may not be clear to workers involved in such online tasks. The company or platform behind the gig is not described in the provided reports, nor are details about how the footage is used, how long workers must commit, or what safeguards are in place. The backlash centers on the wage level and the nature of the work requested, with the incident becoming a flashpoint in public debate over low-paid digital labor connected to AI.
