  • Compare original artwork or photographs with AI-generated counterparts.
  • Identify issues with anatomy, color, lighting, perspective, texture, fine detail, shadows, reflections, and rendered text.
  • Describe artifacts such as warped anatomy, smeared textures, inconsistent shadows, and irregular reflections.
  • Write concise feedback that explains where each issue appears and what it looks like.
  • Coordinate with other contributors to keep image assessments and feedback consistent.

About AI training work

AI training is the human work behind systems that generate images, text, audio, and other content. People review examples, identify errors, and explain what good results should look like, so strong visual judgment is valuable in improving these systems.
