Is Prolific overrun with AI bots like MTurk? 300 participants in the 10 minutes since it was posted seems faster than usual...

1/ I built a classroom polling tool using AI with zero coding in about 30 minutes. It allows me to present multiple choice or numeric judgements to students in a lecture, with built-in counterbalancing to demo experiments, and then display results in real time.

@caseynewton.bsky.social This should be discussed on your podcast. Grok instructed not to tattle on Musk and Trump

This but for academic papers. A lot of criticism of work is simply, “why didn’t they focus on some other variable/process that I think is important”. Taking papers on their own terms first is much more interesting and valuable.
"Why wasn't the film this?" is a really common criticism of, like, every movie and always has been, but I encourage you to look past it to figure out what the movie is doing and engage with that. You don't have to like it! You just can't assume you've defeated the film in intellectual combat.

Are the days of online participant pools numbered? Creating an AgentGPT-like bot to complete surveys for passive income does not seem very difficult. Bots have always been an issue on platforms, but they have largely been dumb bots: easily detectable in the data or by platforms like Prolific.
