Clicking it will bring up the scoring feature. If the score is 5, only the score will be recorded, with no further actions triggered. If the score is below 5, a popup will prompt the user to input the correct response. After inputting, the current information and AI's previous response will be used as the question title to create a Q&A pair.If the score is below 5 but no answer is provided, only the score will be recorded, and you can re-score.
