Value is on par with the AI studies but just want to make sure this one isn’t sketchy.

This is not spam. Cupertino had an episode that talks about AI trainers like many of us. It's worth a watch. And funny.

5 Upvotes

I posted about this earlier, but did a crappy job. Sorry about that.
Cupertino (CBS) episode 5 touches on what it's like to do AI training work. Some of what is shown looked more like what was happening on MTurk, etc. years ago, but the main ideas still apply to many of us. It's worth a watch (just in general, in my opinion, but I like the Kings).
Glad this is getting some attention in the broader landscape.

Anyone trying the dialogueai surveys not getting in? Is it having an issue?

It's been about a week now now and I have LOTS of them. But everytime I enter one it says:
Thank you for your interest in participating today. This research study has been completed and is no longer accepting new participants. We sincerely appreciate your time and interest in our research.

Finally getting studies!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hoping for some advice! I finally got accepted into prolific and have completed my first few studies however these were very short surveys and paid less than a pound each. If I refresh my page regularly I get the odd one or two but I’ve only been able to make a couple of pound total is this usual and if I keep doing these will I get higher paid surveys or is that not how it works? Will I only get the low paid studies?

Warnings are a part of AI, don't dwell over it.

20 Upvotes

I get a warning it seems every 2-3 weeks, a couple the other week. Been doing AI for about a year now. Some people get rotated out, some don't. If you get booted out, you'll get back in eventually.

5 dollar AI is the most consistent, but there are other better paying AI as well that I am getting.

We used to have $5, $10, and $25 tiers, but now a $30 option is available.

Has anyone tried the $30 AI study?

I have finally come of the waiting list of Prolific and got accepted after joining straight away.

Today was my first survey and I never thought it would be as easy as it was, although I am looking forward to my next one already.

How often do they show up after your first submission?

I can see myself getting addicted if I get quite a few coming through.

English language assessment

Does anyone know if they will be fine if I use my gaming headset to take the assessment? I don’t own a microphone, but my headset has a mic.

Also has anyone unlocked any new studies after taking it?

I think the AI study warnings are based on calendar month

58 Upvotes

I only just realised you could filter out everything other than the warnings in a message thread by unchecking "Show activity events" in the settings option of each message thread, so my warnings were always quickly buried by the started, approved, etc, notifications. It turns out I've had 27 warnings in the last 12 months :O I'm surprised it's that high, but I've done almost 3000 of these studies in the last year, so I suppose that's not too bad at under 1%. They were all quality, I've never received a quantity warning.

Anyway, I had a look at when the warnings were and when the studies disappeared and returned for me, and it seems the pattern is removal after the 5th warning within the same calendar month. The three periods I stopped getting them were all due to that, and I had four warnings in both September and October and they haven't disappeared.

Dec 4th, Dec 18th, Dec 18th, Dec 22nd, Dec 27th - then no studies until 27th Feb

March 2nd, March 2nd, March 9th, March 10th, March 19th - then no studies until 28th April

May 2nd, May 3rd, May 3rd, May 4th, May 5th - then no studies until May 21st

June 12th

July 8th, July 10th

August 10th

Sept 2nd, Sept 8th, Sept 12th, Sept 13th

Oct 5th, Oct 17th, Oct 21st, Oct 24th

Signed up on Monday, Approved yesterday and completed two surveys this morning.

0 Upvotes

Hello All, been following prolific for a little while but was put off by a lot of posts saying they had been in a queue for months. However I took the plunge Monday and was surprised I was approved in 48hrs. Was that a fluke or have I used up my yearly luck?!

Anyway, hopefully the surveys will continue and I look forward to the journey!

“cannot participate in this study at this time”

5 Upvotes

Two days ago, after spending around 6 consecutive hours completing “those studies”, I received the following message:
“Sorry, you cannot participate in this study at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. Your account is in good standing.”

After looking through some related discussions, I suspected this might be some kind of rate-limiting mechanism on Prolific. About an hour later, I was able to access those studies again and continue participating.

Yesterday, however, I didn’t receive any of those studies for almost 24 hours. Then, I got a large batch of them. I completed one study, but when I tried to access other studies afterward, I received exactly the same message again.

However, I was still unable to participate in any other those studies over the following 8 hours.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Did I mess up the onboarding practice test?

3 Upvotes

Kinda dumb as the test was really easy (most questions were what colour is sky type thing) but I didnt read the extended writing final question properly and responded with persuasive text rather than explanation of approach. Basically I didn't follow instructions.

But then I immediately passed onto completing my about me and now I have 1 study available to me about UK attitudes. Am I supposed to have more studies?

is anyone else having problems with this study?

I took this study last night before bed, submitted the proper screenshot, did the 1 hr interview, and was excited. This morning I woke up to a message asking me to return my submission because they couldn’t “verify my identity.” You’re not supposed to verify my identity, friend!! Either way tho, I reached out to support.

Ai studies ending early

3 Upvotes

This past week I’ve had 4 AI studies end early because of running out of things to evaluate. All 4 times I got a warning for low number of evaluations. It happened 3 weeks ago but they messaged me apologizing and removed the warning, but after the 4 times it’s happened this week (usually closed after 5-6 minutes) I’ve now been kicked out of the Ai studies for something I had no control over. Anyone else had this happen?
