    Pls get rid of the “critical thinking app (dot) ages 10-14” thing at the top of the hero. It’s one of the most obvious signs a site was generated by an LLM. It also seems like the text on the site (and your post here) is AI-generated, which doesn’t inspire confidence.

    I’m a fan of the idea behind this, though. Cool project.

      To be fair the entire site screams Claude

        Yes, it may help kids learn math but it also teaches them to speak like a LLM.

          Reading an AI generated text and discovering that is generated is a skill. A skill that the pedagogical system from any country should promote. Lathoa does not teach, but it is a fun way to work out your critical thinking skill.

        Yes that is fair. It has been built with Claude's assistance.
