    Human Intelligence Task.

    But I strongly suspect the words were created after the acronym, as someone at Amazon probably thought it would be hilarious for people to say they sit at home "doing hits" or "taking hits", and get paid for it. Sounds like a pothead's dream come true.

    haha thats a good one, however, my interest in this site quickly diminishes the more hits I take...and I'm not talking about any intelligent tasks for humans either
