It's magnificent that this work has been made completely practical and diversity was on the minds of the many researchers involved. It would be great to get other genomics labs in even more parts of the world to contribute genomes and help develop tools. Great job researchers!!!
I've been living in Kenya for the last 7 years. ChatGPT is exploiting workers. Yes many live in poverty, especially in Nairobi, but one 'good' meal on the side of the road is about $1. To put it in better perspective 1 dozen eggs cost $1.80. Even in slums there is a cost for living in something barely more than a shanty house, without running water and/or proper toilets.
My vote is ChatGPT is being exploitative, what they are paying should be an hourly rate. They are taking time from people with education and who speak at least two languages. Just because you can pay people less, does not mean you should.
