People Training OpenAI's AI Fired for Using AI to Train the AI

OpenAI has fired multiple contractors who were hired to improve its AI models after they were caught using AI themselves to complete their work, which ironically undermines the human oversight intended to prevent "model collapse"—a phenomenon where AI trained on AI-generated text degrades in quality. According to contractors interviewed, using AI on the job is the quickest way to be terminated, with many people caught violating this rule across thousands of workers employed on various OpenAI projects.
