Will ChatGPT make Quora obsolete?
Last Updated: 22.06.2025 07:57
I would never use AI to write a Quora answer. I’ve got a different kind of attachment with Quora. Quora was the first platform I started creating content on. I’ve got a special corner for the people on Quora who have been reading my answers.
That’s it. There isn’t much of a significant difference. Both superheroes work at the same creative level.
What if all of this is being written by an AI?
Alright.
So the crazy little idea was to make the debate Meta.

I was already occupied with a lot of work, but I had this crazy little idea that made me throw away everything else and glue myself to this moment.
Post Credits:
Well… now we’ve put forth our chess move. That’s half of what it takes to win a debate.
Nah, I’m just kidding.
Tony Stark (Iron Man) has an AI moderator: Jarvis.
Bruce Wayne (Batman) has a human moderator: Alfred.

Now, concluding my answer to your question:
In ancient kingdoms, viziers were senior advisors to the king or emperor. They handled state affairs, offered counsel, and executed the ruler’s directives, much like a modern-day chief of staff.
I collected every point I had discussed with her in Instagram DMs and fed those points to ChatGPT, asking it to lead them to a final conclusion. Furthermore, I asked it to create a PDF of the conclusion points and send it to me.
What's the difference between a zero shot, a few shot, and a chain of thought prompting?
I’m coming for you, humans.
A sort of Meta-AI thing.
Jarvis (Just A Rather Very Intelligent System) is an artificial intelligence that assists Tony Stark (Iron Man) with a wide range of tasks, from managing his suits to offering tactical advice. Jarvis represents advanced technology, providing efficient, data-driven assistance without emotional nuance.
What does it mean when someone is pretending to be me?
As you will see, this crazy little idea would help her win this debate competition against 20 other teams (even though she had less than 12 hours to prepare) and will also answer your question. So stay with me.
Or is it?
What if this answer itself was written by ChatGPT? What if I trained ChatGPT on all of my Quora answers and taught it my language, tone, and way of writing?

The other half? — It’s to counter the chess move put forward by the opponents.
There’s an effective way to trap the opponents—by using our attacking argument as the defending argument—the symbiotic relationship we have with AI tools. Using the same attacking and defending argument will trap the opponents by rendering them off of any additional points to counter.

Amanuenses: Many famous writers employed assistants responsible for taking dictation or copying manuscripts. For example, John Milton, who was blind, dictated his epic poem Paradise Lost to amanuenses, including his daughters.
It’s by showing the symbiotic relationship we have with AI tools like ChatGPT. Tools like these cannot think for you. You have to do the thinking. Then communicate with these tools. Then the tools will behave like your assistants.

So, I asked her to roughly formulate what the potential moves of her opponents might be.
Another great historical reference would be that of Viziers.

I totally disappeared from the face of Quora more than a year ago. And I reappear abruptly, out of thin air, talking about AI. Uncanny, isn’t it?
So, basically, for her to win the debate competition, she would need to prove that AI (tools like ChatGPT) does not hinder the art of creative thinking in humans.
Before we proceed, you should be aware of the prefix Meta.
Let’s make things even more meta.
I sent this PDF to my follower and asked her to use the same conclusion points to conclude her debate:
Generative AI is just autocorrect on steroids. To put it simply, its main job is to predict the next word. That’s it. Although it does that thing so brilliantly that it helps us create stuff, there’s no way it would make Quora or any other creative platform or job obsolete. It’ll just reduce the labor work that doesn’t require creativity. So, if your job is pure labor and doesn’t require you to be creative, AI will probably make it obsolete. It’s always better to switch to being creative. Not only would it be engaging and healthy for your brain, but you also wouldn’t feel threatened to lose your job.
Hahaha.
Alfred is Batman's butler, mentor, and moral compass. He provides emotional support, wisdom, and logistical help, acting as a human companion who ensures Bruce Wayne remains grounded. The relationship is deeply personal and rooted in trust and loyalty.
This analogy summarizes my point best:
I can’t explain the joy that ran through my nerves seeing we were able to pull off such a heist.
Well, well, well.
Meta-Discussion = Discussion about Discussion
So I replied to her texts with this:
The next day, I received her text:
Alfred supports Batman on a personal and ethical level, whereas Jarvis is more of a technical and operational assistant for Iron Man.
Viziers:
But how does this meta-fication prove our point?
A vizier obviously has more knowledge than the king. But it doesn’t make him more capable than the king. The vizier helps, but the king makes the call. Just like AI is more potent than a human, but it doesn’t make it the main element.
Meta-X = X about X
So this answer was not written using AI.
That’ll be done by bringing forth the historical term Amanuenses.
ChatGPT is like Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes. Alfred to Batman. There’s even a software called Alfred for Mac systems. I personally use it. There’s a reason why it was named Alfred. It proves that in this modern world, you don’t need to be a billionaire like Bruce Wayne to have your personal butler.
The legendary works published by writers throughout history were crafted with the help of assistants. It’s just that AI solves the problem of hiring human assistants. Now we can have our own assistants for free (or for tiny subscription, coz… capitalism).
Just like Alexander the Great being tutored by Aristotle.
Well… No.
Meta-Learning = Learning about Learning
To achieve feats that are greater than us, we need a greater level of assistance.
The thing is, ChatGPT existed in history—but in human form. People were creative back then because of a moderator in human form. Today, we don’t need a human moderator. Creativity will be maintained in the same way.
That’s by using AI to win the debate defending AI.
Although, this level of comparison isn’t totally valid right now because what we are dealing with currently is Generative Artificial Intelligence and not Artificial General Intelligence. There’s way more to go for us to reach that level.
A couple of months ago, I received these texts from one of my followers on Instagram:
Now it was up to her to perform well in the debate.
Calm down. It’s Sunny this side.
ChatGPT will not make Quora (or any other platform) obsolete.
Or was it?
Is this AI as Sunny? Or Sunny as AI? Or just AI?
Even if the greatest novel writers didn’t have ChatGPT back then, they did have somebody special around them who sparked ideas like a catalyst in a chemical reaction. But today, we don’t need to rely on another human for that. We can rely on Generative AI.
This is what she replied with:
Now, you’re about to experience a little heist we pulled.
