- Mercor is recruiting music producers and audio engineers to evaluate generative music AI models in partnership with a leading AI lab, paying $23-54/hr, remote, up to 6 months, 20 hrs/week with no cap.
- Tasks: head-to-head comparison of AI songs on musicality, creativity, prompt adherence, vocals and mix quality; labeling genre/structure/instruments; reviewing AI lyrics and vocals.
- Requires 2+ years of production/mixing experience. The poster speculates the target model's pretraining must be extremely strong: "no way they post-trained this."
