Show HN: AI quiz generator from any topic or book in seconds
- hakimihsan_ 1y agoWe built Wiyomi after struggling to stay consistent with language learning apps. Most tools felt either too gamified or too generic. So we made something simple: type a topic (or paste a book’s table of contents), and get AI-generated quizzes instantly. You can track progress, set reminders, and actually build a habit. We’d love your feedback, try it out at wiyomi.com!
- brokensegue 1y agoHave you published your methodology? From what sources are the quizzes based? How do you ensure correctness? Etc
- menzoic 1y agoAre you aware of LLM “hallucinations”? Pasting the table of contents for a book that the LLM has no access to will lead to a high rate of hallucinations
- bananapub 1y agoseems pretty useless to try to learn from a quiz written by a bullshit generator that has no idea (or care) about whether it's got anything right?
- pryelluw 1y agoNo demo without signup? No video either …
- rrr_oh_man 1y agoAlso no feedback.. :)
- 12907835202 1y agoI gave this a tough test, specifically generating a quiz about the video game football manager, and it failed quite badly. It would either give 3 absurd/joke answers and one good correct one. Or give 3/4 correct answers and then insist that only one of them was correct and the others were wrong. It's probably only accurate to specific topics and still requires alot of human validation and input. To me that makes it not that better than asking an AI for suggestions conversationally. Probably worse since you can make more progress and adjustments conversationally.
- the_snooze 1y agoI like to throw sports trivia at AI systems to see how well they do on something that's low-stakes and very well-documented. Here's one question Wiyomi generated for me just now about college football: > What coaching change occurred at USC during the 2010-2011 offseason? > A. Lane Kiffin left for the Oakland Raiders, and Steve Sarkisian took over > B. Pete Caroll left for the Seattle Seahawks, and Lane Kiffin took over > C. Steve Sarkisian left for Washington, and Lane Kiffin took over > D. Lane Kiffin was fired, and Steve Sarkisian took over I chose B because I knew that to be true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_Kiffin#USC_Trojans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_Kiffin#USC_Trojans Wiyomi said I was wrong, and that D is the correct answer: > Lane Kiffin was fired as USC's head coach after the 2010 season, and Steve Sarkisian, who had been the offensive coordinator, took over as the interim head coach before being officially named head coach. Lane Kiffin's tenure at USC lasted from 2010 to 2013. If I can't rely on these AI systems for the simplest low-stakes tasks, what good are they for?
