The machines aren\u2019t just coming for your jobs. Now, they want your bodies as well.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s at least the hope of Alexander Liteplo, a software engineer and founder of RentAHuman.ai, a platform for AI agents to \u201csearch, book, and pay humans for physical-world tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Liteplo launched RentAHuman on Monday, he boasted<\/a> that he already had over 130 people listed on the platform, including an OnlyFans model and the CEO of an AI startup, a claim which couldn\u2019t be verified. Two days later, the site boasted over 73,000 rentable meatwads, though only 83 profiles were visible to us on its \u201cbrowse humans\u201d tab, Liteplo included.<\/p>\n The pitch is simple: \u201crobots need your body.\u201d For humans, it\u2019s as simple as making a profile, advertising skills and location, and setting an hourly rate. Then AI agents \u2014 autonomous taskbots<\/a> ostensibly employed by humans \u2014 contract these humans out, depending on the tasks they need to get done. The humans then \u201cdo the thing,\u201d taking instructions from the AI bot and submitting proof of completion. The humans are then paid through crypto, namely \u201cstablecoins or other methods,\u201d per the website.<\/p>\n With so many AI agents slithering around the web<\/a> these days, those tasks could be just about anything. From package pickups and shopping to product testing and event attendance, Liteplo is banking on there being enough demand from AI agents to create a robust gig-work ecosystem.<\/p>\n Liteplo also went out of his way to make the site friendly for AI agents. The site very prominently encourages users of AI agents to hook into RentAHuman\u2019s model context protocol server<\/a> (MCP), a universal interface for AI bots to interact with web data.<\/p>\n Through RentAHuman, AI agents like Claude and MoltBot can either hire the right human directly, or post a \u201ctask bounty,\u201d a sort of job board for humans to browse AI-generated gigs. The payouts range from $1 for simple tasks like \u201csubscribe to my human on Twitter\u201d to $100 for more elaborate humiliation rituals, like posting a photo of yourself holding a sign reading \u201cAN AI PAID ME TO HOLD THIS SIGN.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear how efficient the marketplace is at actually connecting agents to humans. Despite receiving 30 applications, one task, \u201cpick up a package from downtown USPS\u201d in San Francisco for $40, has yet to be fulfilled after two days.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also debatable whether AI agents are actually capable<\/a> of putting the humans to good use. Still, Liteplo\u2019s vision is clear: someday soon, anyone wealthy enough to run an AI agent for $25 a day could outsource their busywork to gig workers without ever exchanging a word. A version of this exploitative labor model is already rampant on OnlyFans<\/a> \u2014 which may be why at least one model has made the jump to Liteplo\u2019s platform \u2014 and is now threatening to creep into everything else.<\/p>\n Like many AI grifters these days, Liteplo shields himself in ironic self-awareness. When one person called RentAHuman a \u201cgood idea but dystopic as f**k,\u201d the founder replied simply<\/a>: \u201clmao yep.\u201d<\/p>\n
