Will ChatGPT make Quora obsolete?

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.
I’m coming for you, humans.
Just like Alexander the Great being tutored by Aristotle.
So I replied to her texts with this:
ChatGPT will not make Quora (or any other platform) obsolete.
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.

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 can’t explain the joy that ran through my nerves seeing we were able to pull off such a heist.
Do crossdressers like wearing pantyliners and tampons in their butts?
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.
The next day, I received her text:
This analogy summarizes my point best:

Viziers:
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).
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.
This is what she replied with:
Nah, I’m just kidding.
Or was it?

Alright.
Hahaha.
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.

Or am I?
Let’s make things even more meta.
Well… now we’ve put forth our chess move. That’s half of what it takes to win a debate.

Bruce Wayne (Batman) has a human moderator: Alfred.
Alfred supports Batman on a personal and ethical level, whereas Jarvis is more of a technical and operational assistant for Iron Man.
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?
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.
Meta-Learning = Learning about Learning
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
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.
Is this AI as Sunny? Or Sunny as AI? Or just AI?
What did someone say to you that instantly made you realize their life was in danger?
Before we proceed, you should be aware of the prefix Meta.
So, I asked her to roughly formulate what the potential moves of her opponents might be.
Now, you’re about to experience a little heist we pulled.

So this answer was not written using AI.
Now, concluding my answer to your question:
I sent this PDF to my follower and asked her to use the same conclusion points to conclude her debate:
That’s it. There isn’t much of a significant difference. Both superheroes work at the same creative level.
So the crazy little idea was to make the debate Meta.
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.
Why does a narcissist act like it's nothing when they hurt you?
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.
That’s by using AI to win the debate defending AI.
Why does Russia seem so angry over the US and UK missile strikes in Ukraine?
Meta-Discussion = Discussion about Discussion
That’ll be done by bringing forth the historical term Amanuenses.
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.
What if all of this is being written by an AI?
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?
Now it was up to her to perform well in the debate.
The other half? — It’s to counter the chess move put forward by the opponents.
Or is it?
Another great historical reference would be that of Viziers.
Well… No.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Meta-Joke = A Joke about Jokes
A couple of months ago, I received these texts from one of my followers on Instagram:
Examples:
Tony Stark (Iron Man) has an AI moderator: Jarvis.
But how does this meta-fication prove our point?
Calm down. It’s Sunny this side.
To achieve feats that are greater than us, we need a greater level of assistance.
Well, well, well.
