[Academic][15 min] Do AI explanations help non-experts understand app network traffic? (Everyone)
Hey r/samplesize,
Working on a master's thesis researching whether AI-generated explanations help everyday users understand what their apps are connecting to in the background.
You know how apps silently connect to dozens of external servers and most people have no idea why? The research builds a system that uses a local AI to explain those connections in plain English — and needs to test whether that actually helps people understand them better.
What's involved:
- 15 minutes, runs in your browser, works on mobile
- Look at real network connection scenarios
- Answer some comprehension questions and rate the interface
- Completely anonymous — no account, no email, no personal data beyond basic demographics
No technical knowledge needed — non-experts are exactly who I need.
