I've been calling this since Friday all over this site and Twitter. It makes absolutely no sense why he's on this board given his direct competition between GPTs and the Revenue sharing versus Poe's creators monetization platform/build your own bot.

The Poe creators monetization is a clear conflict of interest.

Except it makes obvious sense if you know anything about the technology and the training system quora potentially could become.

That ship sailed years ago. I was a Quora "Top Writer" for a few years in a row until I quit. I stopped using Quora because they did a complete 180 and stopped their writers program (read: the people answering questions) and instead started programs to incentivize people to ask questions. Almost overnight, people were algorithmically creating questions like "What is 23 times 154?" and spamming low-value questions that are trivially google-able.

In the last year, answers are obviously AI generated (perhaps ironically, most by ChatGPT). All in all, the damage is mostly done. Quora has sunk to a level that even Yahoo Answers did not sink to in terms of spammy questions, spammy/bad/incorrect/low-value answers, and a practically unusable UI.

Quora went from being pretty interesting early on to still having some gems in a sea of mostly dross to just meh.

Surely the OpenAI developers know how to append `?shared=1` to Quora URLs.

I never use quora so I personally just found out from your comment[1] that you can bypass login. Helpful if I need Quora.
