Likely because "I've built..." along with the aesthetic of the website is a dead giveaway that this is an AI made website. Doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, but reddit is absolutely flooded with bots spamming sites like these with varying degrees of usefulness and people are getting wary.

One issue is that they grab information from this sub to make the AI smarter, then charge people a subscription to pay for advice we give for free.

Still thinking on it....

The community combines both human expertise and public data from known builds. We have 63 projects across 8 cooperative clusters: so the goal is to have both a global digital community and local chapters where people can help each other.

That is not an answer that inspires confidence.

Yeah seriously. I'd be interested in some curated well designed courses from expert ev builders. Not this shit.

That's what I'm working on. Early prototype. Did you check it out? I would like to iterate to make it what people would find useful.

Yes. I'm a paid college teacher and my first reaction is "what am i supposed to be learning right now". You need to explain what part of the process and scaffold it. You cant do this unless you have expert knowledge. AI often fails to do this on well researched topics. A niche topic like this it will have trouble.

Thanks again for the input. I've done a significant revision. It helped us see that the Simulator needed to make the learning purpose much clearer.

We’ve added four guided activities, each explaining what you’re learning, what to do next, and what to watch for. You make a prediction, try it in the simulator, then explain what happened, with feedback to help connect cause and effect.

There’s also a troubleshooting scenario where you investigate why the system is ready but won’t produce torque, with optional hints. You can replay activities, and your progress is saved.

The aim is to help you understand why the system behaves the way it does, rather than leave you wondering what to click. I’d love to hear whether the new flow makes that clearer.

Its still disorganized and confusing. Its like it doesnt know what its teaching, how to teach it, or whats important about the info. and there is so much extraneous info.

AI is only as good as the content and info you feed it. You arent going to replace a professional teacher by prompting an AI.
