 Unfavorable reputation for "Questionnaire on AI image generator"(画像生成AIに関するアンケート)conducted by Yokohama College of Commerce(横浜商科大学), Tama University(多摩大学), Osaka University(大阪大学), Tohoku University of Art and Design(東北芸術工科大学).

I found these reactions from people who saw the survey.

"The question settings and assumptions are messed up, making it very difficult to answer."

"There is a mysterious instruction that lets you choose a specific answer."

I recommend not answering this questionnaire.
