Professional AI bully: what a candidate who is willing to pay $100 per hour should do
AI startup Memvid is looking for someone to "shout at chatbots at a professional level" for 8 hours.
AI startup Memvid is looking for someone to "shout at chatbots at a professional level" for 8 hours.
“You’ll spend a full 8-hour day interacting with leading AI chatbots, and your only job is to be as candid as possible about how much they annoy you,” the job description says .
The job pays $100 per hour for an eight-hour shift. The day will be dedicated to testing and critiquing the memory of popular AI chatbots. The candidate will be expected to ask the chatbots to remember information, check what they forget, and ask them again — all while documenting all interactions.
The company behind the job posting is an AI startup focused on solving memory problems in artificial intelligence models. In 2024, Mohamed Omar and his co-founder began building an AI agent to screen and hire medical staff. In the process, he says, they discovered a much bigger problem.
"All AI lives and breathes memory. It's the holy grail. But the AI-based memory solutions that were on the market in 2024 were unreliable, which meant they were losing context and starting to hallucinate," Memvid co-founder and CEO Mohamed Omar told Business Insider.
This risk is especially serious in healthcare, where sensitive data is used, Omar said. So the two founders built their own solution for working with AI in memory. The company now offers two products — one aimed at technical users and the other at non-technical users.
Omar noted that initially the company will hire one person for this position, but may later recruit more specialists to expand the campaign and draw attention to this issue.
Job candidates do not need any special AI skills, a computer science degree, or any other work experience.
In an online form, candidates are asked to describe their most unpleasant experience working with an artificial intelligence-based chatbot and explain why they should be considered for the position.
The job posting states that candidates must be over 18, have “a lot of personal experience with technology frustrations,” and have enough patience to ask the same question multiple times. Comfort in front of the camera is another quality the startup is looking for, as candidates will be recorded during their shifts so the company can share the video for promotional purposes.
