Vantaggi
Although the AI interview was a total scam, it was at least interesting.
Svantaggi
I applied for a role as a “________ Expert.” Their own assessment scored me as highly qualified for that role. But the contract they sent offers a very lowball rate of pay, for a totally generic position as an annotator, with no mention at all of expertise.
The contract features the worst scam I’ve ever seen in a contract. If you sign it, they—or anyone to whom they sell your “persona”—can use absolutely anything about you, in absolutely any way they want, forever, even if they never pay you a cent for anything at all.
The contract outlines that they can use your “likeness, image, voice, persona, and personal
attributes,” which of course includes your name, city, location, credentials, qualifications, and absolutely anything they can glean from the internet about you. They can “publicly display” it for marketing and advertising. And although extortion’s illegal, there’s no reason to think the rule of law would protect you at all here if they use deepfakes of you in order to extort you into doing what they want.
Yes, deepfakes, like they can make “you” publicly say they treated you well and you performed poorly, when the real you says the opposite, or that you never even worked for them. Or they can make “you” claim to have credentials you never had. Here’s the phrasing from the contract: they can “modify, adapt, manipulate, [or] distort [your] likeness, image, voice, persona, and personal attributes.” You license their “manipulation, modification, alteration, distortion, and creation of derivative works from” your “likeness, image, voice, persona, and personal attributes.” Forever, without limit.
