Can't train Pokemons, go train Google!

Recently made a small personal discovery, it is called Crowdsource by Google. As stated: "When you use Crowdsource by Google, you improve products like Google Translate, Google Maps, and Google Search for your local community. Crowdsource gathers your feedback, and feedback from others around the world, to design products that represent people and cultures everywhere. Thank you for helping us create inclusive products that everyone can use and enjoy." Currently contribution fields are available: Image label verification, Image caption verification, Handwriting recognition (seems now available only for English, if no let me know), identification of facial expression, translation and translation validation. If fact, it is even more involving than Candy Crush and feeling that you do some good stuff makes you feel proud. P.S. Some years ago Google gifted top place editors for Google Maps with additional free space for being active and earning points, I hope this time google will also make us a surprise.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Sorry, this is going to be received badly, as people are (reasonably) a lot more skeptical about this kind of project being run by a giant corporation than they might've been fifteen years ago. -- LobsterMitten



 
No thanks, I have no desire to donate my labor to a multibillion dollar multinational corporation to make them wealthier. They want me to work for them, they can damn well pay me.
