Pros

--Can potentially provide what the headline of the webpage states as it can potentially be "Your new remote job" --Pay can be good for some projects --Interesting insights into the state of AI --Some projects can be sort of like a puzzle and can be fun to do --Work life balance is fairly customizable, if there is work to do

Cons

--Communication is essentially nonexistent --The tiny bit of feedback received (an important component of communication) is incredibly mixed - I get emails about how great I am doing one day and have most of my projects disappear the next -- WHY? --As a 1099 position there are no benefits and you need to pay self-employment tax --To get paying projects you essentially have to start off working for free with the hope that the opaque, noncommunicative system will give you paying work and so some people will feel VERY let down if they do not get any work.

Pros

- Very flexible, asynchronous work schedule. - Reasonable pay, especially for the convenience. - Can earn more with expertise.

Cons

- The work is unreliable with regular droughts (sometimes there's more than enough to work on, sometimes there's no work available). - Highly unlikely to receive any performance feedback. - You are not their employee, it is freelance work that qualifies (for me at least) as self-employment, so you have to plan ahead for taxes.
