Hey market researchers’ community! 👋 we understand the importance of gathering genuine insights through open-ended survey responses. However, with the rise of language models like ChatGPT, it’s crucial to be vigilant and ensure the authenticity of these responses. Here are some recommended methods to help you identify and address potential instances of copied content:

     1.   Implement a Captcha or similar verification step to ensure respondents are human and discourage reliance on AI models.
     2.   Look for patterns and coherence in the responses. Unusual phrasing, complex sentence structures, or unrelated content may indicate copying from language models.
     3.   Analyze response length and time taken. Extremely long or detailed answers submitted rapidly can raise suspicions.
     4.   Conduct keyword analysis and compare vocabulary, tone, and language complexity with the rest of the respondent’s survey answers.
     5.   Cross-reference responses to identify patterns or similarities across multiple submissions, which may indicate copying.
     6.   Utilize plagiarism detection tools that can compare responses to known text sources, including language models.
     7.   Consider follow-up interviews to clarify responses and gain insights into the thought process behind them.

By implementing these methods, we can maintain the integrity of our survey data and ensure the reliability of the insights we gather. Remember, these strategies provide valuable indications, but exercising judgment is essential for accurate assessments.
