Exemplifying Rare Transparency in the AI Training Gig Economy
Aligned Labs has been a pleasure to work with. From the quick and frequent communication about project pauses or resumptions to letting us know how our pay is calculated per period, they show a rare level of willingness to directly answer with annotators' questions that I have not seen on other platforms.
Most importantly, any changes made to project rubrics are *always* followed up with live messages/correspondence from an actual admin; they clarify any confusion introduced by the new project guidelines, so you never feel like the goalposts are being moved. Coming from other websites with little engagement from admins, this is so important and a stark differentiator of Aligned Labs from their competitors.
My only complaint is that the work can be short-lived, but that's the nature of the industry at large, and the geographic distribution of the raters, and not attributable to Aligned Labs.
It's been a great experience for me here, and I look forward to continued work with them.
