Lathoa launches math app where the AI is deliberately wrong

Original: Show HN: Lathoa, a math app for kids where the AI is wrong on purpose

Lathoa, a math learning app for children, is being shown off with an unusual teaching twist: its AI tutor intentionally makes mistakes for kids to catch. The idea is that spotting and correcting errors pushes children to reason actively instead of passively accepting answers. Early reactions online are curious, with people debating whether deliberate wrongness is a genuinely effective learning technique or a gimmick.

Why now: An AI tutor designed to be wrong inverts the usual expectation of AI accuracy, sparking debate about teaching methods.
