In this study, we want to learn more about how informational professionals interact with large language models such as ChatGPT, Bing AI, and Google Bard. We are interviewing and conducting diary studies with information professionals (e.g. finance, law, IT, business, academia, journalism, and consulting) who regularly use these systems in their work to understand the information practices they engage in while using these systems. Previous study participants have noted that the diary entries enabled them to reflect more deeply on their use of these tools and the interview has helped synthesized what they have documented. We hope you may find such benefits in your participation as well.
Participants can choose to participate in a diary study first then followed by an interview. The interview portion will be in the form of a semi-structured interview, and last approximately 30-90 minutes. During the interview, you will be asked about the information practices and specific experiences with ChatGPT and other similar systems. With regards to the diary study. Participation in the diary study will last 10 workdays. You will be asked to complete 1 Qualtrics survey per day (7 questions) documenting your daily experience using applications like ChatGPT. You will be compensated with $30 for 10 diary postings and $30 for the follow-up interview.
Up to $60 cash payment
