So, the site is trained on Quora alone or it's the same library as OpenAI with added training from Quora?
(The answers on Quora are terrible, IMHO, so if it's exclusively trained on that - omg no thanks!)
So far as I can tell, Quora is a bit cagey about how these bots were trained, assuming due to third party involvement, so I am not finding any concrete info. That said, I'm also not using it for research-dependant questions or in situations where incorrect info results in catastrophy. I work with and test electromechanical industrial devices, and I find myself using Poe Assistant mostly for quick reference of expected component values or filling it gaps of little programs I make to automate simple tasks for myself. I have not run into any issues where the information Poe Assistant provided was decidedly false, but there have been times where I double-checked slightly more crucial info. Again, choice of chatbot seems to be a balancing act of convenience and user intentions or need, so mileage may vary.
As for rubber ducking, it's the concept of talking to an inanimate object (like a rubber duck) to help with problem solving. It's something I find very helpful and have been doing since I was a kid, but it was coined in the book The Pragmatic Programmer, which is a good read if you're so inclined.
After my other reply to you, it occured to me to simply ask Poe Assistant to see if I got a different answer. Here is the response to the question "what data was used to train you?"
I have been trained on a diverse range of data from the internet. This includes books, articles, websites, and other text sources, to develop a broad understanding of human language. However, the specific datasets and details of the training process used to train me have not been disclosed publicly by OpenAI, the organization behind Assistant. I should note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, I may not always have the most current data on certain topics since my training only goes up until September 2021, and I don't have access to real-time information.
