I tried it too-- Mechanical Turk. It was not for me.

[teenybuffalo]

I know what you mean, comrade.

The conference I was at a couple of weeks back was full of how projects in my general area could use Mechanical Turk to get things done, and the more I hear the more I think "eeeh, not so much."

[teenybuffalo]

Whoa. Hard to see how it could be that useful a process for anybody.

Thanks for introducing me to something I never knew existed: The home page looks ominous enough. For example: "Pay only when you're satisfied with the results." --um, and if not satisfied, then what ? And the payment is called "reward"? And it's a penny or two?

How do they get away with the title--don't they think that Turkey has Internet?
I'm guessing that the subtitle "Artificial Artificial Intelligence" means the title is a reference to the Automaton Chess Player, the hoax that appeared to be a clockwork chess-player, but actually had a human inside. But it still sounds racist. Sounds like you're better off without it. . .
