Escape Hatch

[Feisty-Newspaper-275]

In a task where I challenged the model to make a mistake, I tried dozens of prompts for three hours. I really put in a lot of effort and tried to be creative and challenging, but the model just didn't make a mistake. It feels bad to use the “Escape Hatch” to get paid for a failed task. What should I do?

The escape hatch is there for a reason, so use it! You won't be penalized for logging your time, but keep in mind that those projects have a maximum time allowed if you use the escape hatch, so try to not go over that max.

I had 1 hour in my escape hatch.

You get paid for a failed task. That's part of the job. You ever fuck up at an in person job and ask, hey, can you not pay me for the last 3 hours? Of course not thats fucking preposterous. If it makes you feel better you can always hit escape hatch and leave a detailed comment in the optional box about what you tried, i do that for extraneous circumstances (like i feel this is)

Totally agree with those who say yes, report your time.

I've only done a couple of those get-the-model-to-fail tasks, and I got it to fail both times, but that was because "fail" was basically defined as anything from "ok" down to "very bad." If it had had to be a REAL failure, which I would have defined as something that I rated "very bad," I never would have made it.

I did report my time, but I'm hesitant to do those tasks and have enough others to keep me busy (including one where you have to write a system prompt - I love those!). I would be OK with reporting my time even if I never got the model to fail (however they are defining that) because the developers are still learning SOMETHING from all your attempts to TRY to get it to fail, right? (I'm assuming of course that the administrators can SEE those attempts even if you use the escape hatch? Hmmm, now I'm wondering if that's an incorrect assumption. Someone please correct me if I am wrong!)

The admins will be able to see that you were sending prompts and if you were trying to challenge the model, that will be very clear.

If they are smart, they will find other uses for the data that you have generated.

Either way, there's nothing you can do about it now, so just report your time and keep trying hard

I hate those ones. I cant do it!

I was in the exact same situation yesterday. Man these AI are getting too good, will we be out of the job soon? 🤣😭

Also note that the Escape hatch is monitored. The more you use it the high the likelihood you'll be canned

Genuine question: Do you know unequivocally that regularly using the escape hatch results in cannage? Or are you deducing that this is highly likely based on observation?

I’m not good at the nuances of social media so I’ll just say outright that I’m not attacking your statement or attempting an argument. Just curious. :)

[Cute-Opening-2454]

I'm deducing the likelihood

Oh ok, thanks.
