There are many companies right now exploiting employing contract workers to rate chatbot responses in order to improve the models. I have first hand experience with this work and let me tell you it’s…a complete fucking shitshow. I can’t imagine they’re getting much good data from it but they are absolutely throwing money at the problem hand over fist.
I hate that what sites offer actual free filing seems to change every year. First TaxAct was good but then i guys it got bought or just enshittified so then freetaxusa was the “most” free. I’m sure that’s been made worse since i used it last year but i guess just chuck it on the pile of the millions of problems that could be solved by getting corporate money out of politics.
