Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

I haven't been. Some claims are bunched together if you know what I mean. I would usually work by paragraph or sections rather than individual claims though it depends how the response is set out and how much supporting evidence there is. It's not as simple as the guidance makes it seem in my opinion.

Got confirmation today that I have been removed from the AI studies  said it was no fault of my own but they review participants and move new ones in on a regular basis which is fair enough. So those that have them, make the most of them 😊 

I've never had a message but I think this must have happened to me. I had loads up until last August, or thereabouts, to the extent that I've just paid a hefty amount of tax for 2022-2023 and have had to make a large payment on account for the current tax year too. But since August I've had absolutely nothing. I was stressing a bit that maybe I'd done something wrong that got me banned (though that's silly because I was always honest and took them seriously) so hearing that they move people on after a while does make me feel better. Though it's still very disappointing to no longer be getting them as I actually enjoyed doing them almost as much as I enjoyed the extra income. My husband has now joined Prolific so I'm hoping he might start getting them, though he's in a higher tax bracket than I am so it won't be quite as lucrative plus he has less free time than me so won't do as many.

Have you thought about working directly for an AI annotation company. Then you can do as muchas you want. There's Outlier and Data Annotation you could apply to.

Anybody else had the AI stories continuity error studies?

Yes, that's how I have been working as well.  I'm sure there was guidance a while back on not to overthink accurate claims, but to concentrate on picking out the inaccuracies.

snowwhyte

Yes, accurate until proven inaccurate depending on what kind of claim it was. I'll try and follow the guidelines as best as possible but I don't feel confident about how long I'll keep getting work.

Although there seem to be a lot of fact checking ones, I am quite glad I get other ones to look at instead. They don’t sound like they are a lot of fun to do. 

snowwhyte

Although fact checking has it's issues they're a good earner if you have the patience for them.

Have you applied for either of these? A lot of us may likely struggle to demonstrate our prior experience due to the confidentiality agreements

snowwhyte

I applied for Data Annotation last year but didn't get past the initial stages. I know someone who works for Outlier and they don't really recommend them and the pay isn't as good as Prolific although you get more if you know specialist subjects like coding or maths. 
If you can get into either of the other two they could be an option if you don't have access on Prolific or lose access. I think Prolific is the best one though.

Interesting idea, I didn't know that was possible! Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to look into it.
