A software firm is on the lookout for someone to take on an exciting new role: Professional AI Critic.
"Spend a whole 8 hours with cutting-edge AI chatbots — and your sole task is to highlight how exasperating they can be," reads the job description.
This position compensates at $100 an hour for an entire day. Tasks include examining and providing feedback on the memory capabilities of top AI chatbots.
Participants will test chatbots' ability to recall information, observe lapses, and reassess, all while keeping track of their experiences.

"AI chatbots require users to constantly repeat themselves. We aimed to transform that daily vexation into a tangible demonstration," said Memvid cofounder and CEO Mohamed Omar to Business Insider.
The firm seeking applicants is an AI startup devoted to addressing memory limitations within AI systems.
In 2024, Omar and a partner developed an AI program to recruit healthcare professionals. Along the way, they encountered a much larger dilemma.
"AI relies fundamentally on memory. It's a core component. But the memory solutions available in the market in 2024 were inconsistent — leading to a loss of context and generating errors," Omar explained.
This challenge is notably severe in the healthcare sector, where data sensitivity is crucial, Omar added.
Consequently, the duo forged their own AI memory solution. The startup currently offers two distinctive products — one for technical users, another tailored for non-experts.
The job listing serves to draw attention to the company and its innovations. Omar mentioned an initial hire but suggests more positions might arise as part of a larger campaign to highlight the problem.
