Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with OceanSourceAI.

How and when do I get paid?

All approved tasks are tallied at the end of the week and payments are disbursed securely every Tuesday. We offer flexible, global payment options including PayPal, Airtm, and Cryptocurrency.

Why are the location requirements so strict?

AI models require specific cultural, linguistic, and regional context to function correctly. Spoofing your location via VPN will result in an immediate permanent ban.

Can I use ChatGPT to help me rewrite responses?

Absolutely not. Our entire purpose is to provide human-generated data to fix AI mistakes. Using generative AI to complete your tasks corrupts the data pool and will result in an immediate platform ban.

Do I have to commit to a certain number of hours?

No. OceanSourceAI is entirely flexible. You can work 5 hours a week as a side hustle, or treat it as a full-time gig. There are no minimum quotas.
