Domain Expert - TV Show & Movies
Listing checked August 26, 2026 · pay as published by Turing
Overview
Turing is hiring a TV Shows & Movies Domain Expert for an 8-week contractor assignment focused on evaluating and improving large language models. The day-to-day work centers on creating prompts of varying difficulty across entertainment topics, then comparing and ranking AI responses. The expert will judge responses for factual accuracy, reasoning, completeness, and nuance, and will flag hallucinations, outdated information, and edge cases. This remote role is open to US-based candidates who can commit 40 hours per week with 4 hours of daily overlap with PST.
What You'll Do9
- 1Write advanced prompts that cover film, television, streaming, actors, directors, genres, awards, franchises, and entertainment history.
- 2Assess AI-generated responses for factual accuracy, reasoning quality, completeness, and nuance.
- 3Spot hallucinations, logical inconsistencies, outdated facts, and edge cases in model outputs.
- 4Build benchmark datasets and adversarial test cases to uncover model weaknesses.
- 5Explain why a model response is correct or incorrect using authoritative references.
- 6Compare multiple AI responses, rank them, and justify each ranking.
- 7Work with AI researchers to turn evaluation findings into model improvements.
- 8Maintain high annotation quality and document your evaluation decisions.
- 9Identify ambiguous questions and propose clearer prompt alternatives.
Requirements7
- 1Hold a master's degree or higher in any field; entertainment-related disciplines like Film Studies, Television Studies, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or Screen Studies are preferred.
- 2Show strong knowledge of movies and television, including actors, directors, creators, genres, franchises, awards, streaming platforms, and industry developments.
- 3Bring 3+ years of professional experience in entertainment journalism, film or TV criticism, entertainment media, content creation, research, analysis, or reporting.
- 4Write and research in excellent English with strong analytical reasoning.
- 5Check movie and television information with consistent attention to detail.
- 6Prefer candidates with experience using LLMs, generative AI, prompt engineering, or AI evaluation.
- 7Published research, industry recognition, or teaching experience is a plus.
Who Should Apply
This role belongs to an entertainment expert who enjoys close factual verification and can defend judgments with references. Someone with a graduate degree and 3+ years in criticism, journalism, or media research will fit the structured evaluation workflow. The role is less suitable for writers who want open-ended creative assignments rather than repeated scoring and annotation tasks. Candidates often fall short when they cannot cite authoritative references for their verdicts or when their entertainment knowledge is broad but not deep enough for nuanced prompt evaluation.

Turing
VerifiedDomain Expert- Politics
Turing seeks a Politics Domain Expert to evaluate and improve Large Language Models with a focus on political science, governance, elections, public policy, and international relations. The role involves designing challenging prompts that test factual accuracy, reasoning, completeness, and nuance in AI-generated responses. You will build benchmark datasets and adversarial test cases to expose hallucinations, logical inconsistencies, outdated information, and edge cases. Work happens remotely on a contractor basis for 8 weeks at 40 hours per week with a 4-hour PST overlap.
Turing
VerifiedDomain Expert - Art
The role centers on evaluating and improving Large Language Models (LLMs) using deep knowledge of art history, visual arts, architecture, and design. You will design prompts that range from simple to advanced and assess model answers for factual accuracy, reasoning, completeness, and nuance. Each day involves comparing multiple AI outputs, ranking them, and explaining correct or incorrect responses with reliable references. You will also create benchmark datasets and adversarial test cases to expose hallucinations and logical gaps. The position is an 8-week contractor role requiring 40 hours per week with at least 4 hours of PST overlap.
Turing
VerifiedDomain Expert- Sports
This role focuses on improving Large Language Models (LLMs) by applying deep sports knowledge and analytical rigor. The expert will craft challenging prompts across global sports, leagues, athletes, tournaments, rules, statistics, and analytics. Each response gets checked for factual accuracy, reasoning quality, completeness, and nuance, with evidence-backed feedback. The work also involves building benchmark datasets and adversarial test cases to expose model gaps. This is a remote contractor assignment lasting 8 weeks with a 40-hour weekly commitment.
AfterQuery
VerifiedProducer and Director Expert
AfterQuery builds training material that helps AI models reason through creative work, and this contract asks a producer or director to design the production side of that effort. You will write and review challenges about script interpretation, shot composition, talent direction, scheduling, budgets, and post-production workflows. The work runs remote and asynchronous at about 10 hours each week, so you can fit it around active production commitments. Your feedback shapes how well the models handle real decisions that film, television, and theater teams face.
Mercor
VerifiedFilm & Video Craft Expert (Camera, VFX, Editing & Performance)
An AI lab needs film, theater, and visual effects professionals to judge how well its video models handle real craft. You will compare pairs of AI-generated clips from the same prompt and pick the stronger one on lighting and grade, framing, camera and lens direction, physical realism, continuity, and acting. The work runs in rounds tied to new model releases, so your reviews help train and refine the system over time. The role runs part-time and remote as W-2 employment through Cincinnatus LLC, with placement on the lab's extended workforce.
Turing
VerifiedDomain Expert- Music
This contractor role focuses on refining large language models through expert-level music knowledge.
