Dare ObasanjoWelcome to the cycle of generative AI making search worse.
Quora uses ChatGPT which hallucinates an answer to a nonsense question.
Google Search picks up this nonsense answer from Quora which has high page rank and treats it as an instant answer.

Amir E. Aharoni@selfisekai @carnage4life What happened to Quora is, in a way, more tragic than what happened to Twitter, which is ruined, but has replacements—Facebook, Mastodon, etc. Quora doesn't. As a general Q&A site, it was second to none. For some reason, in 2018, the company went all in on unnecessary ML experiments and other pointless features. They possibly improved some short-term metrics, but the parts that made the site good are hopelessly ruined. Now there is no good general Q&A site :(
Clarissa@clarissawam Thanks, I'll check it out. Does it allow languages other than English?
@aharoni No, sorry. It’s a US site and tho it has many international members, it’s still fairly US-centric. Full of knowledgeable nerds tho!
