▶ AI Company Begins Paying Actors Up to $74/Hour for Conversations with Bot

Handshake AI has announced a casting call for actors to perform short scenes and dialogues based on simple scripts to train its AI models. The goal is to react as naturally as possible: argue, joke, express surprise, just like in real life.

For such "acting in front of a camera," they are ready to pay up to $74 per hour, and the work can be done remotely with a flexible schedule.

It is assumed that such recordings will help train AI to better understand emotions, conversations, and human behavior. Online, people are already joking that actors are essentially helping create an AI that could one day generate movies, jokes, and entire scenes on its own.
