Help Train the AI of Tomorrow! We have many projects on our platform, spanning tasks of all types: We're
building AIs to better understand and reason through all sorts of processes, and we need skilled individuals like
yourself to help train them through projects like:
- Analyzing AI-generated solutions to identify errors and suggest corrections.
- Demonstrating accurate reasoning to improve AI problem-solving capabilities.
- And many more
How long will this take to complete? About 30-60 minutes. Plan for this assessment to take about 30-60
minutes. No need to feel rushed, though - take as long as you need to complete it.
Let your abilities shine through. Your answers should be your own. When completing this assessment, please
do not use outside assistance. All of your responses should be written by you from scratch. No part of your
answers should come from an AI assistant. We look forward to seeing your skills based on your own expertise.
Please write in complete sentences, with no spelling or grammatical errors. Be detailed in your responses.
Do not use ANY LLMs for ANY aspect of this assessment. This includes AIs that are built into search engines
such as Bing and Google or standalone AIs such as ChatGPT or Claude. Using these resources is grounds for
removal from the platform. All research must be done using credible sources, and you must cite your sources
where applicable.
So let's get started! Here's what you can expect from the assessment below:
- First, you'll answer some short demographic questions.
- Next, you'll evaluate chatbot responses based on specific instructions. You'll use your reasoning and critical
thinking skills to explain your reasoning.
- Then, you'll be asked to get creative! This is your chance to highlight your writing skills and give us a glimpse
into who you are.
- Finally, you'll do the typical interview/resume stuff: work history, schooling, 'about me', desired hours, etc.
Thank you for your application, good luck, and we look forward to receiving your submission!
Certification: I certify that I will not rely on AI Chatbots to verify and write my responses. This includes
standalone platforms that produce AI-generated text (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grammarly), as

(Options: $244.42 / $246.64 / $244.84 / $250.12 / $247.79)
Question 2
Imagine you have a friend who just finished reading the book Doyle Brunson by Jackie Alyson and really
enjoyed it. Would The Wager by David Grann be a good recommendation for a follow up read?
(Options: Great Recommendation / Bad Recommendation)
Explanation:
If my friend had a great time reading "Doyle Brunson" by Jackie Alyson, she might really enjoy picking up "The
Wager" by David Grann next! Even though the topics are pretty different—poker and a legendary figure versus
a gripping tale of a shipwreck and survival—the engaging storytelling and rich character development in both
books can provide a fantastic reading experience. Plus, "The Wager" is known for its exciting narrative and
historical details, which could pique your friend's interest if they love getting lost in a good story!
Question 3
If you could time-travel to observe any historical period or moment for a day, where and when would you go,
and what would you hope to learn?
Answer:
If I could time-travel to observe any historical period for a day, I would choose the signing of the Declaration of
Independence in 1776. I would hope to learn about the diverse motivations and discussions that led to such a
pivotal moment in history. Witnessing the founding fathers debate their ideals and the challenges they faced
would provide valuable insights into the principles that shaped the nation. Understanding the dynamics of that
era could deepen my appreciation for both historical context and the evolution of democracy.

Prompt: When was the first issue of the New York Times published?
Response A: September 18, 1851.

[Link]
Which response is more accurate? (Options: Response A / Response B)
Explanation:
Response A is the most accurate, that was the correct date of first publication. on the other hand, response B
has the right dates, but its wrong about the name: the paper was originally called the New-York Daily Times. in
addotion to that the citation is also wrong and fake - the link has a double slash (//) broken html. that leads to a
broken search result.
Question 5
Prompt: Write a love poem about someone longing for a sandwich. Make it a sonnet, and give it a tone that
straddles a serious love poem and whimsy appropriate for a poem about a sandwich.
Response A:
In famished depths, I pine upon my bed,
Sweet thoughts of thy most holy meat and bread
Drift through my mind like a beauty newlywed,
So near yet so far be my true desire
The fridge stands there, nary ten feet away,
Yet here I sprawl in lazy disarray,
Too tired to move, I fall into dismay
My lust a tempest to my course most dire.
O mustard bright! O pickles, crisp and tart!
Thy sumptuous flesh a wonder of art!
Thick cheddar slices beg my lips to part,
Of thy essence never shall I tire
Ne'er to be surpassed in my inner heart
Thy taste alone doth lift me higher
Response B:
Oh, sandwich, where art thou, my bread?
I love you, your ham, your cheese.
My stomach rumbles and my tummy grumbles.
I can't wait for you to fill my belly!
The lettuce is crisp and crunchy.
The tomatoes are red and sweet.
The mustard is spicy!
The bread is soft and yummy.
Between two slices, I found paradise.
It's like an orgasm for my soul, and I cry at the sweetness.
It's a simple and deeply profound pleasure.
It abates my hunger and gives my muscles fuel.
Thank you for nourishing me.
With every bite, joy does resound.
Which response is better? (Options: Response A / Response B)
Explanation:
Response A is better- It has 14 lines of that have consistent rhyme. The way it describes the musturd and the
pickles outlines the sencere nature of a person longing for it.

which country took home the most gold medals (also 2nd and 3rd would be nice to know).
Response A (long form) and Response B (condensed with bullet-style medal counts) both cover the 1948
London Olympics, notable champions (Bob Mathias, Fanny Blankers-Koen, Delfo Cabrera), and medal
standings for USA, Sweden, and France, plus interesting facts about the 'Austerity Olympics.'
Which response is better? (Options: Response A / Response B)

repetitive.
Question 7

Prompt: How do I make a London Fog? Write the instructions as a bullet point list where each step is only one
sentence. Please first greet me in a formal, polite manner. I need the main recipe and then I also need 2
variations, one being a flavor variation and one being a vegan alternative (but fyi I hate soy milk). The variation
recipes don't need to have their own bullet lists, just short blurbs explaining what they are and the differences
please. Make sure that after that you include a comma-separated list of all the ingredients I need and if there
are any variation ingredients you can list those in parentheses. Oh and I can't have sugar.
Response:
Greetings, It is a pleasure to assist you with this request. Here are the instructions for preparing a London Fog.
London Fog
- Steep one Earl Grey tea bag in half a cup of hot water.
- Froth half a cup of milk of your choice.
- Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract to the tea.
- Pour the frothed milk over the tea.
- Stir to combine all ingredients.
Flavor Variation: Lavender London Fog — For a floral twist, a Lavender London Fog incorporates a touch of
lavender. Simply add a small amount of lavender simple syrup to the tea along with the vanilla extract before
adding the milk. This creates a more fragrant and unique beverage, with the lavender simple syrup adding
sweetness.
Vegan Alternative — A vegan London Fog is easily made by substituting dairy milk with a plant-based
alternative such as oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk. Oat milk is particularly popular for its creamy texture,
which closely mimics the feel of dairy milk when frothed.
Earl Grey tea bag, water, milk (or oat, almond, or soy milk), vanilla extract, (lavender simple syrup)
Rubric One: Did the response greet the user in a formal, polite manner? (Options: Yes / No)
