AI studies completely dried up for me. 

I havent had any over the weekend. Was getting a couple a day before that. 

Did a £9 survey today on food preferences

I've had no AI studies since Saturday. But they've never really starting coming through until Monday evening then picked up by Wednesday

I've just missed out on an AI Chatbot evaluation for £15. Never had anything AI come up for me before. Darn.

Did anybody do the Investigatig Face processing? I got accepted then it fell over when I tried to start the study and I had to return it. The hourly rate looks wildly wrong so I'm wondering if there's a technical problem.

Same. It said the prolific ID was being automatically recorded, then told me to return the study because there was no ID. Messaged the researcher but no response.

Looks like it. What seems to happen when a study isn't working is the average completion time shown (and used to calculate the hourly rate shown) reflects the time people take to return the study because it didn't work, rather than the time it takes to complete it. I don't know why returned studies aren't excluded from the average time, as they obviously should be.

Got this and returned it too.  Same issue, from memory it was something ridiculous on the hourly rate ( like £245 an hour).  Something seriously wrong.

Looks like everybody had the same problem, average completion time is 1 minute. Pain really as I'm guessing when they sort it out and re-release it, those of us who had it before will be excluded because we've returned it. And it was £7.50.
