The demand for professionals who can refine AI-generated content is on the rise, as employers increasingly seek individuals who specialize in cleaning up the mess left by artificial intelligence. Data from a major freelance platform reveals that job postings related to "correct AI errors" have surged by 87% in the past year. Another popular platform has seen a 70% increase in similar listings, while a third has reported a staggering twentyfold growth in this area over the last three years. In contrast, experts have observed a decline in interest for conventional creative roles that are more vulnerable to automation by AI. "AI Cleaners," as they are now being called, are particularly sought after in fields such as graphic design, video editing, proofreading, and writing, including the editing of texts generated by AI. According to the CEO of one freelance service, AI-generated material requires a human touch to transform it into a polished product suitable for use. Typically, these jobs are posted by small businesses or entrepreneurs who lack the resources to refine AI outputs themselves, yet believe that the task can be accomplished quickly and affordably. However, many freelancers express concerns that editing AI-generated content demands as much effort as creating original works, leading to burnout and decreased earnings. When asked about preference, the consensus leans towards the enjoyment of starting projects from scratch rather than refining AI drafts.
