Ripple CTO Issues Critical AI Message to XRP Community

As a crypto investor and tech enthusiast with a keen interest in the blockchain space, I’ve been following the developments at Ripple closely, particularly the perspectives of its CTO, David Schwartz. His recent criticisms of Quora and AI-generated content in general have piqued my attention.


David Schwartz, the CTO at Ripple and co-founder of XRP Ledger, voiced his disapproval of Quora’s implementation of AI and expressed concerns about the authenticity of AI-generated content in general.

Schwartz has previously criticized this web platform regarding its artificial intelligence evolution on more than one occasion.

David Schwartz persistently voices his concerns over the subpar content generated by AI algorithms on the widely-used question-and-answer site, Quora. This platform attracts a large number of visitors every day.

The Ripple executive praised the thought-provoking AI-generated queries on Quora today, remarking “Great questions as always, generated by AI, @Quora.” He left this feedback in response to several questions, including “What happens to the taxes you paid if you lose your job?”

High-quality AI generated questions, as usual. Keep up the good work, @Quora!

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the acclaimed author of “The Black Swan,” and Edward Snowden, the well-known American whistleblower and former NSA employee, have been vocal in their criticisms of AI, with a focus on OpenAI’s ChatGPT in recent times.
