AI Usage

I had this app for about 2 weeks and I loved it a lot. But then I realized that they use AI and some of the facts are wrong. I'm super disappointed because I love the concept of the app. Maybe if this gets fixed and Nerdish becomes credible I'll redownload it.

Scam

Can’t read anything without an ad. Either that or you pay for a subscription.

AI Usage

If you’re not looking for it or thinking about it, you will miss that they use AI, OR it might even be marketed to you that they are AI free, as it was for me. I don’t specifically blame Nerdish for that marketing because I heard about it from someone else promoting them. I started reading an article and immediately got this feeling that they were using AI, and sure enough, if you go into Settings and FAQ, they say that they have a team of real human editors, but they admit that they use AI with the excuse that “most modern companies do.” I do appreciate the upfront honesty about it, but this is no excuse!!! AI is untrustworthy in its sources and information. There are other reviews even complaining about inaccurate information. Even if they’re not using it for “aiding in” writing the articles (which I doubt), AI data centers are putting our planet at HIGH risk of destruction and ruin, not to mention all of the jobs that AI is taking from artists. Please Nerdish, if you read this, I beg you to reconsider. I love the concept of this app. I really wish I could bring myself to enjoy it, but as a human who highly values art, intelligence, our planet, and HUMAN made connections and knowledge… I just can’t.

Nerdish : General Knowledge Application

Learn Something New Every Day

Good app concept, but cannot verify articles and they often include grammatical mishaps!

I’ve been enjoying this app so far, it’s a nice way to do some light reading and learn things here and there instead of scrolling. However, it irritates me that there are no references or source material linked in the articles. Plus, I keep on reading quite obvious grammatical mistakes in these articles which makes that even harder to ignore, and makes me question the validity of what I’m reading (also just makes for a worse reading experience). Hopefully this is at least proof that the articles aren’t written by ai lol
