This might not be entirely relevant since I'm not an expert in the 3d visual community but my friends launched this project and it might be something you'd be interested in

So… what does it prove? Do you learn anything?

Just because Alpha go exist back in the days, go competition doesn’t go away. Just because ChatGpt exists these days, it doesn’t replace our desires of learning something more interactively.

ChatGPT can answer many things, but it seems miss the point if you use it for a website designed for learning.

ChatGPT can solve the problems for me. I can spend my time doing other things other than learning stuff it can do.

A lot of the styling looks very similar to some default choices popular llm's make; a default which I had never seen prior to their existence.

Also the ai-generated textures make it all the more likely that the rest of site is vibe-coded.

I'm not anti-ai per se, but using the defaults does affect my (and presumably others) impression of the quality of the site

The expected output to the quiz does not seem like something someone would intentionally choose

I'd rather the author spend time on what they want to make (shader quiz) instead of CSS.
