AI data annotation / RLHF gigs pay for expertise
AI companies hire people to rank, label, and grade model outputs on platforms like Scale, Appen, Prolific, and Remotasks. Reported pay: $12-25/hour for generalists, $50-200/hour for expert tiers such as medicine or engineering. Easiest entry of any AI-adjacent income (start same day, zero capital), but the work is repetitive, builds no compounding asset, and expert-tier slots are competitive and can be cut anytime.
