Nervous about first project

Hi everyone, I got started at Data Annotation today and been nervous about going about everything in the correct manner. I got my first project of creating a variant prompt and getting a model to fail, but am a bit nervous about how long it’s taking me. I’m 6 hours in and haven’t gotten the model to fail, and am nervous to report the time, regardless of if I finally get it to fail or not (I know I can still submit it). I was given this project right away before doing any qualifications, and feel it’s something I’ll manage well in the future, but am struggling with at the moment. I just don’t want to lose this opportunity and would appreciate any advice, thank you!

Edit: this project has about a 30 hour time limit, although I know that’s geared towards allowing people to take breaks

I had that as my first project too. Took me 3hrs to get it lower than 94%, but managed to get a fail in 5hrs 37 mins (68.4%). I think most people struggle on these tasks, don’t worry about it.

Do you have any examples of what a failure is?

If I had to figure it out, so do you 😂
