It's gotten worse, now (and the article mentions it) you get a ChatGPT answer first, which often is completely hallucinated. It's really great when you get a result where the AI answer and human answer totally disagree.
What in God’s name were they thinking placing ChatGPT answers in there? Can users not just go to Chat GPT to get those answers?
Adam D'Angelo is on the board of both ChatGPT and Quora. Quora has hitched its star to AI and has little interest in its human contributors. Expect it to jettison them entirely at some point.
The worst part about that is that the ChatGPT answers are indexed by Google and can appear as featured snippets. I've seen some cases where this can end up showcasing an inept or downright nonsensical generated answer on SERPs.
