I ask because it says I will work in a group and it takes 40 minutes, I have been answering questions for an hour now

My HIT did not take that long.

I'm new here, and to mturk! Started earlier this month. I just returned a hit because I have no idea what was expected of me. I can't post any links because I don't have 3 posts yet, but its rewriting sentences/questions for a chatbot, from requester Kasisto - Primary. The goal is to rewrite the question in my own words, that would receive the same answer. Seems easy enough. Except then I'm given 3 redundant questions, each with a capitalized word, and the sentence needs to work as a substitute for all 3 questions, AND my sentence must include all the capitalized words! "I want to know about EVERY ONE of them" "Can you tell me about ALL three of them?" and "the T D SIMPLE one"... Very easy to rewrite the sentence and keep the meaning, but I'm completely lost on how I was supposed to incorporate all "ALL, EVERY ONE, and T D SIMPLE" (what the heck does T D SIMPLE mean?" it looked pretty darn straight forward before i clicked accept! I tried to submit using only one of the keywords but it gave me an error. So, returned.

Kasistos have seemed broken/wonky lately, it's usually a simple rewrite task with no keywords that need to be included, or only a single keyword. These ones lately make no sense, it's not just you.

I emailed them and sat it aside. Do you know what this numbers hit is called, the game?

I thought they were odd -- the ones that were too complicated, like three keywords, I returned.

contrary to the instructions, each of the kasisto hits requires that all the keywords be used which means at times you will end up summarizing all three 3 sample sentences/combining into one single statement or question.. grammatically the questions or statements you end up writing may be a bit weird to see but they're actually not difficult once you get the hang of it.

I'm not that old of a member here -- I've only been here like 5 months longer than you. and 6 months longer with my previous user (I think it was 6 months ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

 

[Jerami]

how many hours have you turked today?

@Jerami

All-ish. I took a break for an hour. Probably zoned out for another. Maybe even a third wasted on the forum.

 

[charlie]

$32.42 so far. never expected that much. makes me happy and hopeful for the rest of the week.

Oh, and half an hour on coffee and 15 on breakfast.
EDIT I also shopped for about 45. So, the whole day minus like 4 hours.

DBL EDIT But, I just emptied(finished) my queue. So, I think a bit of a break is due.

 

[stuffalleysays]

They got back to me and are setting up a bonus hit, lol. they said "it doesn't work that way". Welllll, but it did.
