They can be quite variable. Some of video, some are text, Some were images and diagrams. It very much depends on your style of thinking as to how you get on with some of them - there are something that I like and some that I wouldn’t touch with a bargepole. 

I would suggest giving one go and see how you get on. Some of them do you have a bit of training that you have to work through but that gives you an idea as to whether it’s something you want to carry on with or not.

Thanks @elsien will try some next time they appear on my screen.

It really does depend. Are they specialized studies or just ones that have AI in the study title? The specialized ones usually pay at least £15ph and can be more complex. The video ones aren't specialized anymore I don't think and are usually just judging video quality. They're boring because they're repetitive. The only way to find out is to try them. If you don't like them just return them.

Thanks @snowwhyte I haven't seen any worth around £15ph, the studies I've seen mention AI in the titles, not sure whether they're less specialised than better paying studies. Next time I see one will give it a try.

There are none showing at present, but general AI studies.  Not sure what is involved.  Are they straightforward, or more difficult to do?

There are lots of different types and they vary a lot in how easy or challenging they are. Quite often, if its your first time doing a particular task there is some training to run through that doesn't appear again. 

There would be nothing wrong with accepting a task and having a look whether you fancy it. You can return it if you don't without any adverse effect on your account.

Thanks @warby68 The next time I see an AI study will give it a try and see how I get on.

Got quite a lot of the hour long specialized AI studies up on the dashboard today.

First time I've seen these in quite some time - a welcome boost for Christmas if you have time.

And the better paying end as well!  Definitely a nice boost for Christmas for me!

Absolutely. I did 2 this morning and will hopefully do 2 more this evening. There's enough places that they even still be there tomorrow if I'm lucky. Also, I had a £2.80 decision making study that paid a £12 bonus earlier so today has been my best day on Prolific in a while.
