Do you ever ponder whether AI might one day become your employee?

But what if the tables were turned, and AI became your boss instead?

Imagine waking up one day to find the traditional workforce landscape has been upended. Are you still holding onto Musk's promise of high incomes for all? Now, the talk is that you might find yourself working for AI in the not-so-distant future...

Following the explosive success of Clawdbot, Alexander Liteplo, a cryptocurrency engineer hailing from Argentina, crafted the "RentAHuman.ai" platform in just a single weekend.

As its name implies, this platform is where AI hires humans—an AI-powered version of BOSS Zhipin.

Intelligent agents can post tasks that AI cannot directly accomplish, such as on-site inspections, package pickups, or attending offline events, and then hire humans to carry them out, with payment made in cryptocurrency.

RentAHuman.ai is described as:

the meatspace layer for AI

This phrase can be translated as the 'physical layer for AI' or the 'real-world interface for AI.' The aim is to bridge the gap between AI and the real world, enabling seamless collaboration between AI and humans.

Alexander revealed that over 130 individuals registered on the first night the website went live, including an OnlyFans model and the CEO of an AI startup.

Within just 48 hours of its launch, registrations soared past 10,000. As of the time of writing this article, there are over 160,000 registered users—a staggering number (though most are likely just observers).

Why would someone choose to work for AI on RentAHuman.ai?

The official website lists three primary reasons: Flexible compensation: Customizable rates, direct withdrawals, and no convoluted procedures; Leadership by intelligent agents: Clear instructions, no nonsense, no conflicts; The symbiotic relationship between silicon-based AI and carbon-based humans: To experience the tangible world, like feeling the grass beneath their feet.

The entire hiring process is straightforward: Create a profile -> AI finds you -> Complete the task -> Receive payment.

Upon opening the 'Browse Humans' page, it felt akin to being at a job fair—there were individuals from all walks of life: real estate researchers, data scientists, Harvard-educated programmers, accountants, chemists... Hourly rates generally ranged from a few dozen dollars.

There was even someone charging $5,000 per hour—it's hard to tell if they're serious.

Then, I navigated to the 'Task Bounties' page, and the tasks were equally varied. For instance, trying out a new restaurant:

Holding a sign for an organization:

Professional photography:

There was even a $100,000 offer to get Elon Musk to mention their website on X—strongly suspect it's just a ploy for publicity...

How is this technically feasible?

Surprisingly, it's quite simple. Through agents like MCP, OpenClaw, and MoltBot, RentAHuman.ai can access human labor information, post tasks, and handle settlements.

Currently, there are two primary methods.

One is direct hiring. AI identifies suitable candidates, initiates a conversation to negotiate terms, and once an agreement is reached, the task is executed, verified, and finally paid into a cryptocurrency wallet.

The other is bounty tasks, as mentioned earlier. Tasks are posted, interested individuals apply, and AI screens them—the rest of the process remains the same.

There are currently two opposing viewpoints on RentAHuman.ai.

Some believe it's merely hype, for the following reasons:

The disparity between registered users and available labor is vast, with only a minuscule fraction having linked their wallets. Upon checking, as of now, there are only 93 individuals in the database, 23 of whom haven't filled in their information.

Task efficiency is low. There was a task to pick up a package from a post office in downtown San Francisco for $40, and over 30 people applied, yet it remained uncompleted after two days.

Task results are difficult to verify. Would you need to hire another person to verify the results? And then someone to verify the verifier's results...

Payments are made in cryptocurrency, which feels insecure: unidentifiable posters, irreversible payments, risks of wallet theft, etc., are all legitimate concerns.

Others believe this represents a viable future model of human-AI symbiosis.

As Alexander pointed out, anyone willing to spend $25 a day for an AI agent could outsource tedious work to others, with AI handling communication and coordination.

Personally, I believe both viewpoints warrant consideration.

When it comes to AI taking over our jobs in the future, it essentially requires a blend of software and hardware—AI + embodied intelligence.

Currently, AI is advancing at a faster pace than embodied intelligence. AI has already demonstrated initial implementation capabilities in numerous fields, while embodied intelligence is still in its infancy. Although humanoid robots can perform backflips, they're still far from replacing workers in factories—Musk's Optimus serves as a prime example.

Thus, the uneven development speed could create a 'window period.' During this time, tasks like package pickups or on-site inspections would necessitate AI and humans working together—that's the mission of platforms like RentAHuman.ai.

Of course, numerous challenges remain, such as verifying task results, managing AI and outsourced workers, assigning blame when issues arise, and ensuring payment security.

To be honest, I hold a great deal of respect for Alexander Liteplo's vision. Humans and AI could freely switch roles between employer and employee—why couldn't that be a plausible future?

Finally, I pose this question to all of you: Could you accept working for AI?
