DoorDash launched a standalone Tasks app on March 19, paying its delivery couriers to complete short activities designed to train AI and robotic systems. Couriers can earn money by filming themselves washing dishes, photographing restaurant menus, or recording speech in foreign languages. Pay is disclosed upfront and calibrated to the effort and complexity of each assignment.
In the end, those couriers will be replaced by AI trained machines.
