  • “Built Ask Verdik Al with Bubble Mobile - A Simpler Approach to Everyday Al. Hi everyone, I wanted to share a mobile app I built using Bubble’s mobile platform called Ask Verdik A.I., now available on both iOS and Android. I’m an independent creator without a traditional programming or software development background. What started as a simple idea turned into several months of learning, experimenting, troubleshooting, and eventually bringing a fully functional mobile app to market. The concept behind Ask Verdik is straightforward: sometimes people just want a clear answer to a simple question. With so many powerful AI platforms available today, I wanted to take a slightly different approach. Rather than building an application packed with features and complicated tools, I focused on creating a streamlined experience where users can ask a question and receive a direct, easy-to-understand response. I’m not trying to recreate ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Those platforms serve their purposes extremely well. My goal with Ask Verdik is simply to offer an alternative for people who prefer a more focused, minimalist experience. The app is particularly geared toward students and everyday users”

  • “I don't think you can characterise going against the literal best option as misalignment. The change comes from interpreting the context of the user's situation to determine what is actually being asked. If I ask "what is the cheapest way to get into town?", I would expect a model that knows anything about me to say "walking" while others would expect the correct answer to be "Take the bus" That is not misalignment. I would go into detail as to what I think it constitutes, but it appears I'm not allowed to say that anymore. You can disagree with an argument, or offer an alternative explanation but following up a disagreement with an alternative hypothesis is, apparently, a hallmark of an AI. As an aside, I had a thought about how to sign a message in a way to suggest an LLM did not write it. I have been accused of being an AI a number of times, in my real life people have said that I talk posh, so there is, perhaps, some correlation there. If people ended their messages with something that most models are unlikely to say, it might help In that spirit, fuckety-fuck, fuck fuck fuck to you all (with the nicest of intentions)”

  • “Feedback: Preserve the depth of 5.6 sol in future models. Sharing this here because I’m curious if others have noticed the same thing, and hopefully the OpenAI team sees the feedback too. For self-learning, I still strongly prefer GPT-5.6 Sol. Its biggest advantage is not just intelligence — it gives genuinely complete explanations. When I ask for depth (with right prompt) , 5.6 Sol usually gives the context, reasoning, examples, important related points, and the “why” in one answer. With GPT-6 / 6.1 Sol, I often feel the responses are much more compressed (extremely aggressive), so I end up asking several follow-up questions to reach the same depth. For learning, shorter is not always better. Sometimes one comprehensive response is actually more useful and efficient than five shorter ones. I really hope future models don’t become increasingly concise at the expense of teaching quality. A persistent Comprehensive / Tutor mode would be excellent — something that prioritizes depth, explains the “why,” anticipates obvious follow-ups, and teaches a topic properly end-to-end. I hope GPT-5.6 Sol stays available, or at least that this style of explanation is preserved in future models. Th”

There is a noticeable gap in the availability of AI models that provide in-depth, comprehensive responses for individuals seeking deeper learning and understanding. While competitors like Khan Academy, Coursera, edX, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning offer educational content, they often lack the interactive, personalized depth that users desire from AI models. Additionally, users report limitations in advanced topics and engagement, indicating a need for a more robust AI learning tool.
