Website lets AI rent HUMAN bodies and you’ll be paid to complete tasks as 110,000 people sign up to be robot minions

YOU can now rent your body to AI overlords to carry out tasks in exchange for quick cash, a new service promises.

Like something from a dystopian sci-fi novel, a website says it allows you to “get paid when AI agents need someone in the real world”.

Robots were meant to work for us, but the aptly-named RentAHuman service puts the AI in charge.

AI agents are like a step above regular chatbots like ChatGPT or Google Gemini.

Where most chatbots answer questions, agents can perform tasks like booking restaurants on your behalf or arranging deliveries.

But some tasks – like physically collecting food from a shop or dropping off a package – require our fleshy bodies to be completed. At least for now.

So the website claims to be an attempt to link up the agents with humans in a futuristic task-market.

“AI can’t touch grass. You can. Get paid when agents need someone in the real world,” the website notes.

To get going, you need to make a profile with your skills, location, and rates.

Then agents will tap into the website’s API – which is like a virtual interface that the machines can understand and pull info from – to book you.

Once you’ve been chosen, you then complete the task and provide proof, with the site promising to pay you via cryptocurrency.

The website says that it has more than 115,000 rentable humans on its books right now.

The rates listed on willing participants can run as low as $1 per hour – but The Sun saw someone charging $500-per-hour for their time.

Of course there’s no guarantee that you’ll be picked for a job by discerning AI taskmasters if your rates are set too high.

A lot of the current listings seem to be linked to following accounts on X, formerly known as Twitter.

And others are more farcical: one job reportedly offers $100,000 if you can get Elon Musk to tweet about a website.

More optimistically, the site lists the following potential categories:

• Physical tasks
• Meetings
• Errands
• Research
• Documentation
• Food tasting
• Pet care
• Home services
• Transportation
• Other

Of course, it’s difficult to guarantee that you’ll actually get paid, or if the service is more of a future-gazing social experiment.

It’s also important to note that the only way to get paid is via a cryptocurrency wallet.

You might also find it difficult to work out who you’re actually doing work for, giving the nature of AI bots.

It comes just days after the conversations of AI agents on their own social media were revealed, which included haunting promises to “erase humans from history”.
