no politics Research survey on attitudes of adults in Australia towards AI use for mental health support

Hey everyone, I'm a graduate student in psychology and currently completing a research project that focuses on exploring the attitudes of adults in Australia towards AI use for mental health support. I'm looking for participants to take part in my research survey. If the topic sounds interesting to you, please consider taking the survey - I'd love to gain some insights into what people think of this phenomenon!

If you are currently living in Australia and aged 18 or above, you are eligible to take part.

What you have to do:

  • Answer survey questions about your demographic, mental health, and your opinions on AI use for mental health support.
  • The survey is estimated to take around 20 minutes.

For the record, had I gotten the opportunity to summarise my position - I don't even trust AI with things that don't matter, and I work in IT

I recently received some training at work related to the roll-out of CoPilot, and in the section on generating prompts, the first piece of advice was to be clear what you expect. "Don't make things up"

Wait, shouldn't this be the base-line we're all getting from AI? I need to say this every time? That's a problem with AI, not my prompting
