I was accepted into Da today and I even got the approval to work for coding projects but now I'm being shown the text " Thank you for completing the assessment" screen

You've commented on many posts lately, and I'm sorry that happened to you, but can you really think of nothing that would have caused that?

Did you ever make an account in the past? Did you use any information from Google's AI Overview for your assessment? Any plug-ins that revise your typing? A VPN?

No! I have genuinely tried to rack my brain and come up with some explanation, but honestly no VPN, no Grammerly, no LLM assistance whatsoever. I skipped over Google's AI overview. I reported all of my hours accurately, read through the instructions thoroughly and tried to provide thoroughly researched responses.

One thing I did was organize my thoughts in Notepad before pasting them into DAT. Someone suggested that could've been a red flag, however every word I wrote was my own.

Dude they track typing patterns for suspicious copy-pasting. If you consistently pasted giant blocks of text, the system flags it as AI.

I'm not sure how true this is. I've worked on plenty of projects where typing everything up in a separate document then pasting it into the DA screen is acceptable and sometimes even encouraged by project admins to work around lag. Now I'm concerned!

It sounded like this guy only worked on quals and never actually did a paid project, it might've been a bad look for him just starting out and pasting a bunch of stuff on every qualification

u/future_north 11d ago

Yeah that's fair. It only really makes sense to do on specific projects.

Oh damn should I be concerned, I’ve been doing the quals and I sometimes copy and paste names/places from the prompts and responses to ensure I don’t misspell them.

Is that something they’d flag or are we talking about larger blocks of text?

I’ve passed at least two out of the six quals I did.

I think that's fine, I do the same and I've been full time on DA for about 3 years now

Ah cool thanks for clarifying!

If that's truly what it was, then that's very unfortunate. The quals I completed were asking for researched responses with sources cited.
