> Are all of the LLMs trained using human labor that is sometimes exposed to extreme content?

The business process outsourcing companies labelling things for AI training are often the same outsourcing companies providing moderation services to facebook and other social media companies.

I need 100k images labelled by the type of flower shown, for my flower-identifying AI, so I contract a business that does that sort of thing.

Facebook need 100k flagged images labelled by is-it-an-isis-beheading-video to keep on top of human reviews for their moderation queues. They contract with the same business.

The outsourcing company rotates workers between tasks, so nobody has to be on isis beheading videos for a whole shift.
