I had a different type of AI study show up in my feed today. I was only able to do one but hopefully there will be more.

I never know what you guys mean when you say AI study, but I think maybe I got one today?

It said £7.50 for 30 mins, but it was just chatting to an AI chatbot for like 5 mins, then answering a few questions. They paid me £7.50 + £20 bonus Couldn’t believe it???

That's not the one I got but there are different AI studies. Sounds like you got lucky with that one. Hopefully you'll get some more.

I’ve just gone into preferences and turned on “Get messages from us about exclusive studies and ways to participate”, do you think that’s why I’m not getting them? I don’t understand how to spot the difference between the studies that I get and these AI studies that you guys mention?

 

[snowwhyte]

I don't think that the preferences are the difference. The problem with the AI studies is that they usually have an initial screening study. They list that and if you happen to be online at the time and pass the screener you get added to a list and when they start posting those studies you see them but the people who didn't do the screener never know about them.

There are different types of AI studies though and sometimes they will put the screener up again to get different participants so just because you don't have AI studies now doesn't mean you can't get them in the future.

The is also the issue of them being taken very quickly because the pay is good. They don't sit on the dashboard for long.

There have been a few today. Rating answers to prompts about video content (first for me I think).

 

[Karonher]

I get them but find although I can accept I cant access them. I fill in what they ask for and when it comes to clicking next nothing happpens.

 

[snowwhyte]

There's AI studies up now for those people on the list.

Was the other AI one the media one? I've not been on for a few days so missed out. Like you say it's the luck of the draw.

Thanks for this tip, I've gone in and selected that too. I hadn't noticed it before.

More AI work available this morning

 

[snowwhyte]

AI studies are back again after a quiet week.

 

[Lemonade23]

I had some AI training a couple of days ago. I went way over time as I didn't realise you stopped after an hour
I had another shorter AI task, that I hope was also training. I enjoyed it, doing tasks that are shorter than an hour would be so much easier to juggle with everyday life.
More of the regular AI work on this morning too.

I'm not included in this set. Did 6 x 1hour over two days a couple fo weeks ago and none of the 60 minuters since. How have you both answered the About You question re: how many AI studies you have taken part in? I went with 100+. I'm a little concerned though that this may screen me out of getting more.

 

[Lemonade23]

Was the 100+ the highest option? I don't think I went for the highest option.

 

[mcp]

Yes, it was. I did around 120 of the hour ones in Jan/Feb 2023. Since then about 50 more plus about 50 of the shorter picture rating ones and some other odds. Figured I should opt for honesty.

 

[Lemonade23]

I only had access to the project this year. Well in the last few months. I do keep seeing tests though.....It could be there are lots more projects in the coming months. There seem to be at least three researchers offering this kind of work, if not more.

I'm out of country next week so will log out of Prolific completely for that time. Don't want to risk a ban. In the past being logged out for a period results in a deluge of studies once you log back in again. I'll update this thread if it is the case this time too.

I only started using Prolific again earlier this year and when I answered the AI about you question I had limited AI experience so that is what I put. I haven't changed my answer since then because I've read some Reddit threads about people changing their About You answers and getting their account suspended.

I had at least four or five days off last week when I was unable to log on. I did get half a dozen studies when I logged on after that, two were decent. Then I had these AI this morning so it could be true

What do you mean about getting a ban?

Logging in from overseas - seems to get you banned from Prolific pretty quickly.
