How would this self-selecting study be representative? It will be swarmed by paid AI shills.
The anti-AI people are already weary by having to contradict the $trillion industry, so they might skip this particular battlefield.

Thanks for asking! We're unable to offer compensation, but the insights you share will directly contribute to social scientific knowledge about AI’s impact on professional work and careers. Software engineering is at the forefront of this change and objective, academic research on the topic is still scarce. So we really appreciate everyone who volunteers their time to share their experiences and views on the topic.

I'm surprised your human research ethics board doesn't require you to indicate the benefit to participants
Did you get ethics approval for this? I can't see any reference to it on the survey

I understand your concern, and thanks for asking for this clarification.
We have IRB ethics approval from NYU for the study. All the detailed information you are looking for is contained in the 'Research Informed Consent Form' that will be emailed to eligible research participants. After reviewing the informed consent form, you can choose to proceed or not with scheduling an interview. And of course, you can at any time withdraw your participation.
The link in the post is just a simple contact form giving us permission to contact potential participants and assess their eligibility (i.e. whether they are based in the US, whether they are software devs etc). And, if we hopefully get more responses than we need, the brief information contained in this form will help us sample participants based on company size or professional experience level.
You will see in the 'Informed Consent Form' that there are no direct benefits to participation. The study will contribute to social scientific knowledge about technology’s impact on professional work and careers. I hope this helps!
