#22Awesome idea, and I really like the implementation! It'd be great to see an integration with something like Moodle -- so that educators could generate quiz questions based on course content automatically, eliminating the "blank page" when they start putting together a quiz.

#23Blown away by this. I copy text from a CNN article and the questions were spot on. So good that it seemed human generated.

#24This is a threat to English learning book publishers. It literally generates a reading comprehension test.

#25This is a really awesome application of GPT-3. You should definitely consider turning this into a service and adding the ability to generate Anki decks or flash cards from summary notes. That coupled with the quizzing capability could be huge for students in medical school for example.
as a med student, i'd 100% pay for this service if it can take my in house lecture ppts as input

#26Very cool! Though I did put in the physics example and got this:
2. What is a physicist?
Choices
[ ] A scientist who studies the natural world
[x] A scientist who studies the field of physics
[ ] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics
[ ] A scientist who intersects with many interdisciplinary areas of research
Whoops! Try againRe: Show HN: Generate quiz questions using AI
#27Please no. Writing good quizzes is really hard and the last thing we need is to throw ai into the mix

#29It seems to spit out nonsense questions with little relevance to the text. Given a text about grass, it might ask: "what is green?" followed by 3 actually green things, one of them being grass.
It's a fancy cloze generator. It has no understanding of which constituent parts of a sentence are related to the subject and does not generate alternative answers that are reliably wrong.

#30The site is being hugged to death unfortunately (or something... I'm getting HTTP 500's on every attempt). I was trying to get it to quiz me on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us, but sadly I'll have to try again later.
