Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

Has anyone had any follow-ups from the specialised study task? My payment is still pending. It’s been super quiet on the AI studies since the weekend too (I don’t get the fact-check ones though).

@ele_91 Not had anything and my payment is still pending as well which feels really odd as I'm so used to the instant payouts for the other AI studies!

I had some of one of the new style AI fact checking ones yesterday which had thousands of spaces left, but I think that one is restricted to 3 submissions as it disappeared after I'd done those and I'm pretty sure it did the same last time I had that one as well.  The instructions still didn't seem to relate to the questions though!

On the reddit Prolific group a couple of people said they had got individual feedback about including more links for the AI ones?  I've not had anything - has anyone here?

I've had no more AI ones after a couple of weeks of them popping up every day.  Although this has happened before and there has been a long gap in between blocks of studies. I obviously can't do them at work and I think maybe some are showing during the day but have been filled by the time I get the chance to look at them. No individual feedback at all for me.

I had some of the regular AI fact check ones a few days ago and again yesterday. The new style ones are still up for me but I only did one of those because I don't feel like I know what I'm doing with it and the training for it won't load.
I finally got the pop up about specialist AI studies but now I'm waiting for the study for it.

@elsien I think there are groups who get fact-check and then us who don’t get fact check but get loads of the other types. I’m sometimes invited to surveys with only 50 or so places and on those times the researcher has messaged me for task feedback.

i know I failed the fact-check screener! I got it in June and I just started it when the health visitor rocked up (I had just had a baby). I was trying to do both and I messed up a question. I’m on maternity leave now and these surveys have saved me, I’ve made about £5k since August.

I don't want to be a killjoy, but don't forget that you will have to pay tax on anything over £1000 - best to make sure you have that stashed away.

Yes I have that set aside as I already do a tax return!

I just passed the screening for the new AI training and the new study is already up on my dashboard. Am about to give it a go. Hope it's a good one.

I think it’s another screener.

You are correct. The first screener was a logic test that gave you access to the fact check screener. I'm not sure how well I did but luckily I still have the old style Ai studies if I don't pass the new ones.
