▶ AI company starts paying actors up to $74 per hour for conversations with bot
Handshake AI has announced a call for actors to perform short skits and dialogues based on simple scripts to train its AI models. The goal is to react as naturally as possible: argue, joke, be surprised, just like in real life.
They are willing to pay up to $74 per hour for such "camera acting," and the work can be done remotely with a flexible schedule.
