It's named the Amazon Mechanical Turk after a famous hoax from the 19th century. Kill time and get paid in tiny increments to boot!"

The whole motivation from this came from the same person who invented the CAPTCHA, and was explained in his thesis defense on Wednesday. Abstract for those who care:Subject: Thesis Oral - Luis von AhnNovember 2, 2005Luis von Ahn12:00 PM, 3305 Newell-Simon HallThesis OralTitle: Human ComputationAbstract:Tasks like image recognition are trivial for humans, but continue tochallenge even the most sophisticated computer programs. This thesisintroduces a paradigm for utilizing human processing power to solveproblems that computers cannot yet solve. Traditional approaches tosolving such problems focus on improving software. I advocate a novelapproach: constructively channel human brainpower using computer games.For example, the ESP Game, introduced in this thesis, is an enjoyableonline game -- many people play over 40 hours a week -- and when peopleplay, they help label images on the Web with descriptive keywords. Thesekeywords can be used to significantly improve the accuracy of imagesearch. People play the game not because they want to help, but becausethey enjoy it.I introduce three other examples of games with a purpose: Peekaboom,which helps determine the location of objects in images, Phetch, whichcollects paragraph descriptions of arbitrary images to helpaccessibility of the Web, and Verbosity, which collects common-senseknowledge. I also show that, in principle, every problem that could besolved by a computer, today or in the future, could be solved usingenjoyable computer games.In addition, I introduce CAPTCHAs, automated tests that humans can passbut computer programs cannot. CAPTCHAs take advantage of humanprocessing power in order to differentiate humans from computers, anability that has important applications in practice.The results of this thesis are currently in use by hundreds of Web sitesand companies around the world, and some of the games presented herehave been played by over 100,000 people. Practical applications of thiswork include improvements in problems such as: image search,adult-content filtering, spam, common-sense reasoning, computer vision,accessibility, and security in general.Thesis Committee:Manuel Blum, ChairTakeo KanadeMichael ReiterJosh Benaloh, Microsoft ResearchJitendra Malik, University of California, Berkeley [ Reply to This | ParentRe:CAPTCHAs by mattyohe (Score:2) Friday November 04, @09:47AMRe:CAPTCHAs by idokus (Score:1) Friday November 04, @02:31PMRe:CAPTCHAs by xaque (Score:1) Friday November 04, @03:47PMRe:CAPTCHAs by TheSync (Score:2) Friday November 04, @11:35AMEnder's Game by Tekgno (Score:1) Friday November 04, @01:09PMRe:Ender's Game by Firethorn (Score:2) Friday November 04, @02:00PMRe:Ender's Game by syrinx (Score:1) Friday November 04, @02:24PM1 reply beneath your current threshold.Re:CAPTCHAs by glinden (Score:2) Friday November 04, @03:43PMRe:CAPTCHAs by xygorn (Score:1) Friday November 04, @03:57PM1 reply beneath your current threshold. i can see it already...

Consider the following task, for example: Your task is to create a new product description for a product in the Amazon.com Automotive catalogue. The Product Description provides an additional opportunity to tell the customer about the product. This HIT will require some product research to complete. Approval depends on following the instructions and the quality of your submission, determined by a manual review. Guess how much you get paid for that. 2 dollars? 3? That wouldn't be unreasonable, I think, considering that you're supposed to write an entire product description from scratch for which additional "research" is required. The actual amount paid is only 65 cents, though.Maybe it's just me, but if I check to see how much I need to work in my regular job to make 65 cents, then it does not make any sense to invest more than a few minutes into a task like this, and it seems that it would take more than that to actually complete it. The fact that there's a review required afterwards doesn't exactly make things better, either - if what you did gets rejected, then you've essentially worked for nothing (I wonder if there's anything that keeps amazon from still using your description in this case, too...).In other words, the whole thing seems like a good idea in theory, but it won't really take off until they're willing to actually pay you a reasonable amount.

Not a good proprosition if you're clueless about auto parts and have to research everything as described, but I don't think that's the intended optimal target for completing the task (although it someone's dumb enough to spend half an hour or more per description for a crappy hourly wage, they're more than welcome). The optimal target to take up that task is someone who already knows a lot about car parts. Chances are if you're an Autozone (auto parts store chain) employee, you could get most of the descriptions done in under 5 minutes with little to no side research, because you already have the domain-specific knowledge. That's the guy who will be drawn to answer that question.So the key to making effective money at this scheme is to skip tasks that you don't think you're "better than average" at - kinda like the job marketplace in real life.

If so, they would drive down the labor costs so much that only truly desperate Americans would participate in this piecework scheme.
