It is not a "shit show on decline".

I am assuming this is your profile http://stackoverflow.com/users/6317210/madcatm2

Consider:

1) you have basic questions older than 6 months with correct answers you haven't marked as correct

2) you clearly show an ability to program, however ask questions that you should be able to debug yourself easily. I think this is the main issue. In your question about the return value of prompt, logging the response should show you it is clearly not the value "null".



sort by: page size:

I think it may have a bug and is reverting to default responses. Got the same thing.

It's wiping good responses after generating them for me. Why is it doing that?

Pretty bad answers in some cases. Keeps repeating contradictory statements. I asked "Will the Thai baht fail." It kept repeating that the Thai baht is pegged to another currency, and then that the Thai baht is free-floating and not pegged, and then again that it is pegged and then not pegged.

Example: https://galactica.org/?prompt=Will+the+Thai+baht+fail%3F


I'll be honest, as I saw the big "NO", I thought "not another one of these" and closed the tab.

Perhaps seemingly showing a result before I've answered questions is an anti-pattern.


I've had it add the question mark as the first token in the response when I forget it, or intentionally leave it off

The problem isn't displaying the pages. It's the rating and asshole management system for the questions and replies. How does that work?

There doesn't seem to be a way of looking at the responses without entering a value, which makes it difficult for students, job seekers, etc., to look at the results without entering meaningless data to get there. Am I missing something?

2. It's not that I'm failing to see the answers, it's that I'd like somewhere to write my answer and then (even if it's not automatically scored) show me what I wrote and how it compares to the real answer. Otherwise, I'm not doing anything, I'm just passively clicking through cards.

Same reason I write code instead of just reading language manuals. I used to do the latter, but it doesn't really teach well. Unless you're actively doing stuff and getting feedback on how you did, you're not really learning.


The “back” function seem broken on mobile. Also, it’s not a fun learning experience if you don’t get the correct answer when you get something wrong.

It’s also not “unlucky” to be wrong, don’t patronise your users.


You need to put in a text box: "Please describe, in your own words, the purpose of my site:" Then throw out all the responses that are incomplete or way off. The problem is that when I did that, there were too few useable results.

The app is behind a login. It says "I answer queries with a simple 'Yes' or 'No', no explanations given."

sure, same question. Is the problem that they have a formalized response or that it's automatic? Or something about the specific response?

I am encountering this exact same issue. My instructions are repeatedly ignored and it falls back to a "preferred" approach after a single useful response. I have practically memorized the disclaimers attached to the end of every response.

Partially a cop-out. All "lifetime access to" responses, aren't realistic responses.

Have you tried to re-roll when you get a bad answer? If you use the user interface it has a button for that purpose.

Really need a back button for this. I don't so much want to know if I qualify, but what do I need to do to qualify which means some of my answers change

A disappointing percentage of links go dead, thereby making the answer useless. This problem increases over time.

It seems to do that whenever it thinks it doesn't have a good quality answer. However, many times when that happens I've just hit "retry" and got an answer in response.

I don't know if it's supposed to be like this, but one of the answers when I tried different prompts, I asked for a secret, and he replied that they recently had a personal data leak or something
