Going into the article, I was expecting that Quora used AI to answer questions. Instead it uses AI to ask questions. That's pathetic and fascinating at the same time.

It's pathetic because it shows there aren't enough people asking questions to keep the site alive, which means it's already dead and exists only in a kind of zombie fashion.

But it's fascinating because it begs the question, why are people taking time out of their busy day answering pointless questions devised by a bot that doesn't know anything (and that isn't even interested in the answer)?

Quora is now a content farm where contributors work for free. That's horrible... and, in a very practical way, genius.
