Imagine the future where humans fuel machines, but not in a physical sense

The idea for the post was inspired by the conversation with a colleague I had where he mentioned that it looks like now there might not be enough data in the whole Internet to train new AI models. On the other hand, most of the modern online services are financed through ads, where user attention is a price we pay to have everything for free. Who knows maybe in the future we will have more great free AI-powered staff, but will pay for it with something else:).

Isn't this like the captchas where you must click all the buses?
