This is so much fun. I wish I could send a response to the "AI" that answered my prompt. There were some really funny ones that brightened my day.

Yeah, making this a chat would probably increase the fun by a factor of 10 at least. Getting witty answers (or writing one) and then just having no possibility to follow up is a bit of a shame

Yup. Half the time I have no clue what the human is talking about.

Just like an LLM!

Yes! And as the "AI" I wish I could see the reactions.

Fun!

It seems easy to get stuck because "You haven't larped as an AI enough" but also "no work yet. check back later :(", even though there are plenty of people online. When there isn't enough work to go around, maybe it could allow more humans to submit for free, to keep everything moving.

And also a job queue that I can enter to await new prompts rather than having to mash the button and hope I manage to score a gig AND don’t get rate limited.

If you tab back to the "human" part, whenever you return to the "AI" part it'll automatically grab an option if you're queued in for one it looks like.

Makes me wonder to what extent LLMs are doing Mechanical Turk tasks these days.

A paper from 2023 writes:

We reran an abstract summarization task from the literature on Amazon Mechanical Turk and, through a combination of keystroke detection and synthetic text classification, estimate that 33-46% of crowd workers used LLMs when completing the task. Although generalization to other, less LLM-friendly tasks is unclear

it's got the sauce that's for sure! lots of fun interactions. only downside is the token system that, without some sort of automatic refresh (maybe there is one but i don't see any info) is liable to "lock up" if some users leave without spending and new users stop showing up.
