AI training work for generalists and writers: what to know

How much do generalists and writers earn doing AI training work?

Across 136 open generalist roles that list an hourly rate, the median is $80/hr, and the middle half pay between $70 and $100/hr. The highest listed rate right now is $300/hr. 50 roles don't list pay up front.

What does the work involve?

Typical tasks: rate AI answers for helpfulness and accuracy, write prompts that test a model, compare two responses, and give written feedback. Many roles cover writing, research, business or everyday topics rather than one specialty.

Who gets hired?

Strong writers and careful readers, often with a degree in any subject. A good fit if your expertise doesn't match one of the specialist fields.

Is it remote and part-time?

97% of open generalist roles are remote. Almost all are contract work you fit around a day job, often 5 to 20 hours a week, paid hourly or per task.

Is AI training work legit?

Yes, when you apply directly with the platform. Every role here links to the employer's own posting. Real platforms never charge you a fee to apply or to get paid. Be wary of anyone who asks for one.
