Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

The AI learning tasks seem to be back - one of the more lucrative activities if you're lucky enough to get them. If you're wary the instructions do make them seem harder than they actually are.

I got these - one yesterday and one today, not difficult to do and paid £15 for each one. However, I then two hours later got another payment of £15 for one I didn’t do! Did this happen to anyone else? I messaged the researcher, but heard nothing so far.

Those seem to pop up for me when I’m working and I have time to do them which is a bit frustrating. I had another well-paid one come through, but I had to cancel it because it would’ve taken 40 minutes. Flipping work, getting in the way of my earning capacity! .

I have had them early evenings for 3 days and there is always at least an hour longer in the allowed time than it takes. Just wondering whether there would be scope for you to reserve and complete when you've finished work. Not trying to work you even harder but they are nice little earners.

Tonight I did a survey, "Train AI assistant", which instructions said you only needed to do for something like 29 minutes. I did a little longer, and was paid £17.50 immediately

Is it only PayPal that they will pay into?

I had the "train AI" one about dinner recipes, but despite following the instructions to the letter was unable to type in any of the text boxes as either user or assistant. I've returned it (sadly). Anyone else have issues??

Afraid so. But it's free and pretty easy to set up

I just spent 40 minutes on a train the AI one. It told me I'd reached the end of the tasks but no submit button or completion code. Then it told me to refresh but when it did I just got a message saying the task had ended.
I'm going to be very miffed if they don't pay out.

Emotional Acceptance - REJECTED

By northwestern.edu£0.46 • £4.41/hr6 mins  (Expected completion time 3 minutes).0 places
My rejection was because of two attention checks, I got one wrong.  I clicked the wrong box e.g. extremely xxx and it should have been very xxx.  Although I definitely accept that I got one out of two wrong - is this acceptable in a short study such as this?  It is the very first time I have been rejected but wonder if I have any scope for not accepting the rejection.
It is not the money - I just feel disappointed in myself that I  have my first Rejection. I was probably too tired at 2 a.m. when I started the Study.
