The objective is to get you to sign up for their LLM-driven training so that you'll be less useless. They want you to feel like they understand something and you do not.

Sounds predatory and deceptive, like a cult.

we don't do LLM driven training, we are working on an ai-driven platform for tailored learning but I wouldn't call that training more of a replacement for traditional textbooks with a focus on DIY project based learning

this is our first launch like this, so our main objective is to see what people think
why 5min? in early tests with users people liked the shorter challenges than the longer ones
good feedback for more depth and more learning interaction.
this is v1 and definitely more areas to improve to make it less useless
I typed in a bit of an answer, there's not a whole lot to go on, there's no room for me to ask questions about this scenario or get data.
When I filled out an answer it just told me I was useless. I don't really get the point. What was I supposed to learn?
