   "This primer seeks to reinsert workers’ current and material experiences into the public discourse and question promotional language about the magical, infallible, and seemingly inscrutable qualities of AI.

   In Part One, we define generative AI and discuss its different iterations as work technologies, and interrogate assumptions and claims about its capabilities.

   In Part Two, we draw connections between different global dimensions of data labor, and how the underlying data behind generative AI technologies impact workers’ livelihoods.

   In Part Three, we situate generative AI in the context of workplace adoption and identify how it is distinct from and connected to other forms of work automation."

     "The development of AI relies on a large global network of data workers who have been purposely made invisible in order to make systems appear more autonomous, even sentient. OpenAI flaunts that GPT, its LLM, is trained on millions of data points scraped from the internet, but hides the fact that workers must make this data suitable for training. Workers perform a wide set of tasks including cleaning, labeling, keywording, and semantic segmentation." (p. 6)
