Be aware that you're talking about Quora's implementation of ChatGPT here. As far as I know, the cached answers were generated with an incredibly outdated version, which is definitely not indicative of its current quality.

Even worse, I think they actually prime it with answers already posted on the thread, or even just related threads. For example, one of the answers to the first question mentions the same Altaic root as ChatGPTs answer, and I've found multiple people that are seeing their own rephrased answers in the response.

If you preprompt ChatGPT with questionable data, then the answer quality will be massively degraded. I've noticed many times now that Bing will rephrase incorrect information or construct a very shallow summary out of unrelated articles when internet searches are allowed, but is able to generate a cohesive and detailed summary when they're disabled.

Throwing random answers - some contradicting each other and some talking about subtly different aspects of the topic - into a session without further guidance just isn't a great idea.
