My weirdest side hustle was training AI... with pictures of tomatoes
This one still makes me laugh 🤭
I found a short project where I had to help label photos of tomatoes for an agricultural AI system.
Not eating them.
Not growing them.
Just clicking boxes around tomatoes and marking whether they looked ripe, damaged, or diseased hahahahah.
After a few hours, I started noticing tiny differences I'd never paid attention to before.
It wasn't exciting, but it paid good money tho.. for something I could do while listening to music or my crime documentaries LOL.
What's the strangest thing you've ever been paid to look at?
