Help us find out what makes AI advice trustworthy

You read six short cases about made-up people. For each one, the advisor recommends something and explains why, and you tell us what you would do. A few short questions before and after, and that is the session.

We pick the kind of explanation you will see. You do not need to choose anything. Some people get a session with no explanation at all, and that is a normal part of the study.
