Google has been accused of using novices to verify Gemini’s AI answers

Last week, Google allegedly instructed contract employees evaluating Geminis not to skip any prompts, regardless of their experience. TechCrunch Reports are based on the internal guidance you have seen.

Now, the contractors have allegedly received instructions Do not skip prompts Which “requires specialist knowledge of the domain” and “assess what parts of the claim you understand”, adding a note that it is not an area in which they have knowledge. Apparently, the only times contractors can skip it now is if a significant piece of information is missing or if it contains malicious content.

Google provided a statement to Engadget, saying its raters “perform a wide range of tasks across many different Google products and platforms. They provide valuable feedback not only on the content of answers, but also on style, format, and other factors.”
