Also, Quora Lies
About a month and a half ago, I explained a bunch of reasons I was migrating my own content off of Quora, the knowledge-sharing site. I failed to mention one of the most egregious issues: Quora has its own AI assistant bot that provides “helpful” but often (usually?) false answers to questions, and inserts them ahead of real answers created by humans.
