Indeed, a case for Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a service that is shamelessly and deliberately named after its historical model. The principle has not changed after all this time: poorly paid people do the work to make it look as if machines could perform this task.
It is a very popular thing among all the companies that claimed that “artificial intelligence” was the future.
They’ve already demonstrated time and again that these robots only exist so the rich can have slaves without actually having to see or interact with the slaves.
I thought Mturk was primarily used for labeling data for ML models, i.e., “here’s data. Look at it and give it a label according to our specifications”. Do they have a component of Mturk for piloting devices?
It existed before that use case was prominent. Basically it was for whatever trivial for people but hard for machines task you could have people do over the Internet.

I can’t answer that competently, but I can well imagine it, because there is demand for it.
