AI is catching on because it relies exclusively on unpaid (captcha) or underpaid (tagging) labor.

yeah but it also relies on paid labour to design it and they don't stay relevant that long. I'm not saying it isn't exploitative I'm saying it will never be cheaper than this other form of exploitation

Yeah, but the bulk of the labor involved in machine learning systems is training and tagging.

It's profitable right now because the average wage of someone doing the "data mining" required for training are making like $1 a day.
