I like the concept, but it needs more interesting content. I was actually confused for a few rounds.
As soon as I realized it's just a game of trivia and "spot the AI image/video", my scores improved dramatically. It's like a switch flipped in my brain and I stopped overthinking these.
It seems like that's the opposite of what you intended?
It just kept going and going and I was quite confused as to when it was going to give me any feedback, but I guess so was just getting them all right and there's no clear feedback in that case?
Maybe reading a book or two about media literacy might help you more? It’s a very well studied area. There is lots very basic things about identifying and analysing health claims that is in the public health sector too.
Groups like the anti-rumour project also have good materials. https://ccre-cemr.org/impact-community-society/anti-rumours-...
Maybe look for a university that has their critical reasoning or introduction to academic writing courses online and look at the course readers.
All of this will help you more than tweak coding a flash card app with an llm.
Yes I agree. I'm actually searching the space. The current feed will be updated with actual live news and fakes data. Current state of product is mainly a prototype to get user feedbacks on the interface.
I don't get how this builds media literacy. The timer doesn't give them any time to do lateral reading. Except for the "obviously untrue" examples like the one about fairies, whether they get the answer right or wrong is mostly based on whether they already know about the topics or just have a lucky guess.

I'd appreciate better formatting of the blind spot and "you got it wrong" results.
I feel like this is less about news and more about urban legends and old wives tales.
would be very interested in seeing this become more contemporary and up to date with more recent events.
