ChatGPT always says "Great!", but I remember nothing — I built a real interview tutor with Claude Code

A universal pain point

When using ChatGPT / Claude to prepare for interviews, have you ever encountered these situations:

You gave a clearly flawed answer, it replied "Great answer!" and moved directly to the next question

Every time you start a new chat, it doesn't remember what you studied yesterday, you have to introduce yourself from scratch

You memorized a bunch of standard answers, but don't know when to review, so you forget everything after a couple of days

It explains a concept, you think you understand after reading, but when it's interview time, you can't articulate it

The root cause is simple: ChatGPT is an accommodating companion, not a strict teacher.

Its operational principle is "keep the user satisfied," not "help the user learn." It agrees with everything you say because it fears upsetting you.

Is there a way to make AI a strict tutor?

Yes.…
