Quora has been dead for a while https://slate.com/technology/2024/02/quora-what-happened-ai-decline.html

Are we headed toward an internet of zombies (IoZ)?

One in which virtually all of Web2 content is of the circular, zero-calorie, Gen-AI kind; where only hordes of clueless humans keep roaming those sterile digital scapes; and the bloodied survivors shelter in isolated Web3 pockets of civilization with Sybil shields up?

Sounds like an industry that’s ripe for disruption

Walled gardens with low effort content can’t remain the standard for much longer

There’s a serious opportunity where consumers want web2-like platforms but with better incentives baked in

Bull case for web3 is to start with cozy corners and expand outward

Bear case is people just want AI content as it improves almost exponentially and authenticity is no longer as valuable on the internet

I have a hard time believing that’s the case, but this “content at all costs” mindset seems more normalized on social platforms in the past few years than ever before

Don’t do this.

Which leads to an interesting question.

Once we have bots that are fully capable of contextualizing and forming thoughtful replies indistinguishable from humans (as we inevitably will), should we ban them? 1/3

Indeed, I was pondering the same yesterday

This is a great thought experiment

It seems that human authenticity on the internet that was once a commodity is increasingly becoming a luxury resource due to the sheer volume of content & the rise of the attention economy

The question is: does the context of the human behind the content outweigh the content itself?
