Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission for 'Genie' contains significant contradictions and hyperbolic claims that severely impact its score. While the URL (getgenie.io) points to a legitimate WordPress AI content plugin with verifiable traction (~10k+ installs), the project description provided ('operational back-end... Shopify meets Notion') appears to be copied from a different entity or is a hallucination, as it does not match the actual product. Furthermore, the traction claim 'most people have used my product' is factually incorrect and unprofessional. The 'construction' tag is likely a reference to page builders (Elementor) but is ambiguous. The score reflects the existence of the underlying tool but penalizes the low-quality, inaccurate submission data.
