Reminds of Sleep Delaer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_Dealer

In essence, the company pays third worlders a pittance to transfer humanity's skills to the machine. The skill transfer is limited to what can be done with a mouse and screen, but since that's where most human ability is currently manifested, it's hardly a limitation. What happens to the serfs once the transfer is complete? Do they realize they are exchanging temporary wages for eternal futility?

I like how the investors rationalized this devil's deal and the usurpation of the poor: "If you could be pulling a rickshaw or labeling data in an air-conditioned internet café, the latter is a better job."
