Welcome.

Thanks for taking part. This page will walk you through the study in a few short steps.

You will build a small interface by typing short prompts to a generative AI tool in your browser. After every generation we ask you a single one-line note about what you were trying to change.

What this study is about. We study how people build interfaces by typing prompts to a generative AI tool. Your prompts, the generated interfaces, your short one-line notes, and timing data are recorded as the data of the study.

What is recorded. Prompts you type in the task, the interface states the tool produces (HTML and screenshots), the one-line notes you provide after each generation, and event timestamps. Nothing is collected from outside the task window.

How it is stored. Data is held under the study's data-management plan at the IT University of Copenhagen. Only the researchers listed on this study (Tommaso Calò, Aske Mottelson) have access to the raw data. Any published material uses anonymous excerpts.

Your rights. Participation is voluntary. You can close the task at any time. After completion, you can ask for your data to be deleted by contacting tomcal@itu.dk.

Compensation. Compensation is paid through Prolific upon completion of the task.

Ready to start.

You will now open the task in this tab. When all three tasks are complete, Mark will show the completion code to submit on Prolific.

One last reminder

  • Read each brief carefully before you start prompting.
  • After every generation, write one short line about what you were trying to change.
  • If something goes wrong, contact tomcal@itu.dk.

Thanks, you're done.

The completion code is issued by Mark only after the server records all three completed tasks.
