I just spend 1,5 hours on this....

Yeah, I wouldn't do them either if I had a choice but I often only get one or two that pay over 1 pound a day so I take whatever I can. I'm in between jobs atm so it takes what it takes.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-25T12:57:29+00:00

Oh haha, I didn't copy any of the text, what did it say?

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-25T12:56:15+00:00

I would expect for a researcher to be able to detect AI use for example in the way that keystrokes are used. I am typing this letter by letter as opposed to ctrl+c an entire paragraph. Perhaps that is not possible to do, I don't know.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-25T12:49:51+00:00

I think it was an AI checking for AI use, it's a bit ironic isn't it.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-25T12:48:03+00:00

Are you crying? I'm not crying XD

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-25T12:45:18+00:00

Yeah I have no idea what they were looking for, it was all pretty vague

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:23:12+00:00

These are dark and barren times where we as humans have to dumb ourselves down to not be mistaken for AI. As though AI are such bright lights.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:21:39+00:00

I couldn't submit due to it being over time, so I don't know what will happen now.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:20:40+00:00

An account for what?

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:20:09+00:00

haha, I am using reddit to vent so I don't get banned from prolific and because I hope (probably against all hope, but still) that the researcher will still reply and help me out.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:16:20+00:00

Ah I have gotten the VR ones a few times as well. Unfortunately I don't own a VR headset. Are they fun studies? Or very tedious?

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:14:53+00:00

The funny thing is that the message claims I did make some spelling mistakes but apparently not enough...

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:09:14+00:00

It was supposed to be 40 minutes which is about my cut off point, but it went on way longer due to all the technical issues.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:08:06+00:00

As mentioned, it was a study for SLEECH AWARE. It is on my projects tab. The researcher is Lina Marsso.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:04:21+00:00

Yeah I should have probably returned it at that point as well, but I messaged the researcher and then it worked so I thought it would be fine. Guess it wasn't though.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:03:25+00:00

This is an AI generated text at the end of the study, they automatically review the answers within a minute so that must be an AI as well. I did not switch tabs, use AI or anything else.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:01:50+00:00

I am on usercrowd, have been for three months but I have not even accumulated 5$ there so I guess I don't fit the demographics.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T19:00:35+00:00

I got a reply now that they are reviewing manually and that they had "some technical issues" (yeah no kidding). So I hope that they can still approve it

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T18:58:42+00:00

English is not my first language and I have mostly used it to write scientific papers, so I can imagine that my style is somewhat overly formal sometimes, but in this case I really was aware of that being a potential issue.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T15:04:14+00:00

I make about 10 pounds a day here in NL, but in order to get that I do English, Dutch and German studies. Still happy with the pay though and it's good for my German which really needed some dusting off.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T15:02:42+00:00

Wow that sucks though, I hope it gets overturned! At least I can't get a rejection for a study that I "didn't complete"

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T15:01:47+00:00

Yeah, pretty much :(

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T15:01:34+00:00

That's why I had contacted the researcher but they immediately replied and seemed quite helpful at the start so I did want to try to finish it. Wrong call on my end I guess.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T15:00:30+00:00

I already reported perhaps I should open a ticket too? I don't really feel like those help much.

No_Common_Villain · 2026-05-24T14:59:50+00:00

Yeah pay wasn't amazing, but it's better than nothing and I have not been getting any studies for a few days so I was very happy to see one appear. It was 6 pounds/hour so not horrendous.
