New York, 1 February 2023 (GNP): According to a recent article from Semafor, Silicon Valley, the developer of ChatGPT OpenAI has been taking significant steps to engage a large number of outside contractors in order to educate a model better how to code, a move that could eventually eliminate entry-level coding positions.
According to Semafor, in the previous six months, the business hired about 1,000 of these contractors, the majority of which are based in areas like Latin America and Eastern Europe, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

According to reports, about 60% of individuals hired were brought in to work on data labelling projects, and the remaining 40% are software engineers tasked with creating datasets for OpenAI’s models to be trained on.
In the interviews held, candidates are apparently required to pass unpaid, five-hour coding exams that involve detecting basic code issues and offering solutions, outlining their step-by-step reasoning in written English, as part of the interview process.
