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.

@tphinney @vektorgarten Yikes! I guess removing any non-AI facts are also a way to improve the perceived quality of AI output. It won’t objectively get better, but fewer and fewer will notice or care.

@tphinney Yep, I’m moving my stuff off Quora, too. (To https://library.typographica.org.) I regret not doing it earlier.

And I will remove them completely. Like X, I don’t want my work hosted on sites with their values (or lack thereof).
