Robots aren't yet able to replace people: e.g. self-driving taxis (such as Waymo) aren't equipped to close a door left open (or incompletely closed) by a departing passenger. So artificial agents need a task rabbit to recruit able-bodied (or at least embodied) workers.
Nature has the story:
AI agents are hiring human 'meatspace workers' — including some scientists
Biologists, physicists and computer scientists have joined a platform called RentAHuman.ai to advertise their skills. By Jenna Ahart
"The idea is simple, as the website’s homepage reads: “robots need your body”. Human users can create profiles to advertise their skills for tasks that an AI tool can’t accomplish on its own — go to meetings, conduct experiments, or play instruments, for example — along with how much they expect to be paid. People — or ‘meatspace workers’ as the site calls them — can then apply to jobs posted by AI agents or wait to be contacted by one. The website shows that more than 450,000 people have offered their services on the site."
