Note on label: CSVs encode 4 as Human Only, 1 as Machine Only. This is arbitrary and unrelated to results, since the subjects simply saw an un-numbered list of delegability options in the survey. Our analysis in paper and website, however, uses 1 as Human Only and 4 as Machine Only (axis was flipped in analysis such that a larger number corresponds to higher delegability).
