Hi everyone!
A friend of mine from the Harry Potter fandom is conducting research for their BA in cognitive science, on the use of generative AI in fandom spaces. If you have some time to spare and a familiarity with the Harry Potter series (even if you're not in the fandom), you can help out by filling out their questionnaire!
Copying from their intro post on
their Tumblr sideblog:
Who am I?
I am a fanfic writer first and university student in the process of writing my BA thesis second.
I want to share my questionnaire here on tumblr. For personal reasons I don't want to use my main blog for that and that's why I made this sideblog!
What is this all about?
My thesis concerns the use of generative AI in fandom spaces and fanfic writers' attitude towards generative AI.
Can I take part?
Please do!!
As long as you (1) belong to a fandom (2) are familiar with the Harry Potter series and (3) have some time to spare - you can take part!
You don't need to be an active participant in the HP fandom at this moment to take part. However, to answer the questions in the later sections, familiarity with the series is needed. If you are completely unfamiliar with the series, unfortunately you won't be able to take part.
I have been told that there is no minimum age requirement, so even if you are not over 18 you can take part! (However, I am asking you to state for age in the questionnaire - for statistical purposes only - remember, this is all completely anonymous and I am unable to identify anyone by their answers!)
If you can't take part, please share the post with the link to the questionnaire!
Is there a deadline?
I am planning to keep the questionnaire up for about a month, so until the beginning of April
Thank you for helping out!!
