Final Call: Less Than a Month Left To Win From $2,500 in the AI Writing Contest

Greetings, Hackers!

\ The AI writing contest, sponsored by Bright Data, is now in its final stretch! The contest’s launch in September was a call to writers of all backgrounds to discuss one of the hottest topics in tech—AI—and more importantly, the data that powers it—for a chance to win cash prizes to the tune of $2500. Since then, AI stories on HackerNoon have generated more than 150,000 page views, keeping readers glued to their screens for over 10 days, according to reading time data.

\ Still, the conversation around data collection for AI and LLM training is gaining momentum, and we want to hear from YOU!
