Thx for keeping me off social media!

Read a 1-star review that questioned why not just scroll Wikipedia? Because I agonize over what to read or what to choose. And waste more time going down weird rabbit holes. And it’s overwhelming to wade through. I like this app because very interesting, cool content is immediately ready at my fingertips. I like the simple, cute design - pleasing to the eye. This app allows me to “zone out” in a more meaningful, less anxiety ridden way. Don’t feel like I am going down a mindless rabbit hole that feels gross to come out of. Been looking for a simple way to chill out and still do something cool. The content is AMAZING. Would absolutely love to work for you! Would be so fun to come up with bit sized, interesting content. Much rather spend my time learning than playing candy crush. Thank you for this app.

Hello!! I have this app a five star rating because not only has it helped me to read things I found interest in, it had helped a bit on my problem for scrolling on social media. Another great thing is that when I’m finished I can talk about or brag about the things I’ve learned to my family or friends 🥳

Great concept, but it hallucinates a lot

As the title says, I really like this app. It’s a great idea, easy to use, and I’ve learned some interesting stuff from it. However, once I had been using it for a few weeks, I noticed a troubling pattern: it was hallucinating entire topics and occasionally giving me lessons that were utterly incoherent. For some reason, this seems to be a particularly heinous problem in the “Crime” category. Weird prompts I’ve been given include “The Murder of Steve Irwin,” “The Murder of John McCain,” and perhaps most jarringly of all, “The Guilty Conscience of Ad**f H**ler.” Whenever these prompts come up for me, the text of the lesson inevitably devolves into the app arguing with itself, saying things like “there is no evidence that this actually happened” or “present lesson to user in conversational, educational tone.” In each case, it clarified that Steve Irwin and John McCain, respectively, were not murdered; it also clarified that there’s no evidence H**ler felt any remorse.The most baffling one was when I got a lesson called “The Kidnapping of Edna K,” in which the app immediately acknowledged it had no idea of such an event ever occurring. It proceeded to create a five page lesson listing various criminal cases from various countries that could be related, before repeatedly determining that there was no “kidnapping of Edna K” that it could identify. A very user friendly app and great concept, but the content needs a lot of work. When the entire purpose of your product is to share knowledge, fake AI hallucinations are just about the worst thing you could have happen.

Bad quizzes + weak lessons

Many quiz questions are wrong. For example, one quiz question asks which topic wasn’t mentioned in the article, and all choices were mentioned so the question had no correct answer. The app says the right answer is radio telescopes, but that topic is clearly mentioned in the article. This is just one example, but I noticed that over 70% of the quiz questions have some mistake in them. And the articles all seem to be AI generated. I don’t know for sure but it seems obvious from the way the articles are written. But with better prompts I can generate better articles myself. It would be nicer if the articles had some human touch to them. I gave it more than 1 star because the app seems to be very well designed with a very good UI. But the content itself is weak (I picked the 5 minute lessons which have the longest articles)

Hi JBadzerThanks a lot for your detailed feedback!We do use AI to draft content, but every article is reviewed by us. Still, we agree they can feel more human, and we’re already working on that.Thanks for the kind words about the UI, content quality is our top priority, and your feedback helps us improve fast!
