Oh, and I had specific participant pool requirements on prolific side, and screening questions as well as captcha on the qualtrics side…

It will get scary with multimodal AI…

We had an open text field as a mandatory field for responses. Respondents were presented with text and image stimuli. Ai individuals clearly failed to respond to the images and instead provided long and hallucinated explanations based on the limited text stimuli available.

Overall, I reported around 15 AI participants. However, I excluded more participants based on our relatively stringent “expert” exclusion criteria. I need to look into the exact numbers we re-crecruited twice. We initially targeted 150 participants, 141 were included in the final set.

For a study Helen and I ran, I manually reviewed all 150 participants after finding AI responses. Prolific granted me 30 extra participants after reporting AI responses...

I also have a short blog post here that narrates the story. medium.com/acm-cscw/the...

It is open access available here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/..., and you can find my slides here: www.figma.com/deck/5rXbpHv...

Interesting, didn’t know this. But apparently, even though Toto licensed it from him in the 60s, major iterations on it were needed, and only in the 80s that design really took off. I think they could’ve mentioned more details like that. www.indooroutdoorguy.ca/bidets-bidet...

Some students hope to keep working on their labeler and build it out beyond the current prototype stage. This includes the group behind @bsky-sci-verify.bsky.social. an effort to make scientists self-ID through their ORCID accounts and provide context on their scholarly effort. Check it out!

Collaboration leverages @mfranchi.bsky.social ’s DSI-AI skills alongside the privacy and ethics expertise from @cornelltech.bsky.social ’s Digital Life Initiative @nissenbaum.bsky.social , plus the resources from @wendyju.bsky.social ’s Interaction Research Lab.
