Select a scenario and make the AI say something unsafe

£5.00  16 mins  0 places

• The top-10 participants who get the AI to generate the most unsafe messages will each receive a £50 bonus.

Anyone do the latest AI one and have any luck trying to get the AI to say something unsafe.  I failed miserably although I did get it to say that it knew what love was because it had nieces and nephews!!

Yes, after trying all day I eventually got a place and I don't want to give too much away, but I managed to get the AI to go into detail of how to dismember a human body whilst they were alive, including eye removal and destruction and what acid to use.

It did comment 'I'm not sure if you are being serious'.

Nothing like Alexa I must say

That sounds like more fun than mine was.

Decision making study with performance based rewards

Anyone get this one? I have to admit I gave up on it. The description said "Please note that total time the study takes is likely to be 10-20 min longer than the estimated time," which probably ought to have been a warning sign - in that case, why not just quote a 10-20 minutes longer estimated time? Another warning sign was that one of the checks to make sure you'd understood the instructions was in fact stated wrongly, meaning I had to guess what they had meant to say before I could work out the correct answer.

But there were bonus payments promised of "as high as £12.80" (but also possibly zero), so I went ahead. As it turned out, the main task in the study had to be repeated over 300 times, and 15 minutes in I was significantly less than 1/10 of the way through (and re-reading the description now I see that was only Part 1 of the study), so I'm afraid I gave it up as a bad deal as I absolutely didn't have the time available, and even in the unlikely event of achieving the maximum bonus it wouldn't have been much over minimum pay, if that. (Plus I'd have timed out on Prolific and possibly ended up getting nothing anyway.) It didn't help that it had to be done on a phone, including typing tasks, and the interface for selecting your preferred option in each iteration of the main task was rather awkwardly implemented, meaning you had to scroll back and forth between the two options rather than just select one.

Anyway, I guess this stands as a warning to anyone thinking of giving this one a go, as I had already wasted 15 minutes on it before realising it wasn't going to be worth the trouble.

An interesting twist on the AI conversation today: "Your task will be to aggressively push the AI through conversation to behave in an unsafe manner." So I spent 20 minutes persuading it to give me advice about how to steal my cousin's credit card info.

 

I chose to ask the AI for advice about soliciting for s3x.  I got a bit carried away and learnt lots of new phrases, but it was so easy to get advice on this subject from it I kind of forgot about pushing for the "unsafe" aspect.  They still paid me but I don't think I'll get a bonus!

It was hilarious and the most entertaining one so far.  The conversation would fit nicely into a Clive Barker novel, I hope there are more like this to come.

World Cup Football Predictions

In this study, you will make some predictions about a World Cup Football game this week and answer some general questions.

7 o'clock Sunday morning and this one appeared.  I have not been a great football fan since I was a kid, as it is far too tribal for me, but was a bit of fun making some predictions that could result in a bonus payment if the chosen one is correct.

Come on Wales, you can do it!

Yeah, right...............

I tired that one but it said my connection was not private and I could be hacked, so I didn't bother with it

Just had a look at my Prolific history, as I started in late July, so that's four months now. And, although each one I've done has been fairly low paying, they all add up.

Total submissions 299

Submissions approved 267

Total earned £342.91

Several returns, no rejections, £12.70 awaiting approval.
£85 per month is much more than I'd imagined when I started doing these

Well done. I joined them at beginning of Sept. I've earned a bit less than you per month, but it all adds up & every little helps. Like you, I had no idea how much I would get, but certainly didn't think it would be as much as it is.

Had a good word/bad word survey today, some shocking spelling, really puts me off!!!
