David Schwartz, the CTO of Ripple and a co-founder of XRP Ledger, has openly criticized the use of AI on Quora and the quality of AI-generated content in general. This marks another instance where Schwartz has voiced his concerns about Quora’s transition to AI-generated content.

Persistent Criticism Of AI-Generated Questions

Continuing his critique, Schwartz recently tweeted about the low quality of AI-generated questions on Quora. He sarcastically remarked, “High-quality AI generated questions, as usual. Keep up the good work, @Quora.”

His tweet accompanied a series of questions generated by Quora’s Prompt Generator, including, “What happens to the taxes you paid if you lose your job?” and several others. This pointed commentary highlights Schwartz’s ongoing dissatisfaction with the AI-generated content on the popular Q&A platform, which attracts a significant number of daily visitors. 

Schwartz’s recent tweet follows a similar post he made three weeks ago on X. In that post, he declared, “Quora is absolutely littered with official AI-generated slop.” He supported his statement with screenshots of AI-generated questions from the site, further emphasizing his disapproval of the platform’s reliance on AI for content generation. These repeated criticisms reflect Schwartz’s broader concerns about the impact of AI on content quality and user experience.

Broader Context Of AI Criticism

Moreover, Schwartz’s critiques align with a growing trend of prominent figures voicing concerns about AI and its applications. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of “The Black Swan,” and Edward Snowden, a well-known U.S. whistleblower and former NSA employee, have also expressed their apprehensions about AI, particularly targeting OpenAI’s flagship product, ChatGPT.
