When the minimum wage is a quarter and a job is offering 4-8 times that AND you can do it part time, this is a great deal for the kids. Impoverished kids have plenty of free time, what they don't have is money, if you ensure they have more free time and less money you are dooming them not saving them. If you wanted to help them you would pressure OpenAI to raise the compensation, or you would just send direct aid to the children.
Unfortunately people are more motivated by optics and their sense of embarrassment than the interest of children worldwide. A lot of the people who also pass laws around this sort of stuff grew up middle-upper class at worst and simply can't understand why these children aren't spending their free time travelling around with their youth groups and sports teams and going on vacation and presume they just don't have enough time due to all this child labour.
