Rewording
  • There are always problems what they can not answer, or they give trash answer. Then you check the traditional sources, do your investigation, collect references - and summerize them in a Q&A here.
  • In my opinion, creating self-answered questions on this way serves not only the knowledge of the humanity, but it is also memo for yourself. Obviously it is a very generous thing to share the findings with your human and program visitors.
  • I believe, the role of the original idea, that we ask questions from humans and they answer it, will decrease. Obviously there is a lesser need for those answers created by humans, which can be answered also by machines.
  • At least, that is the case now. Odds are that the amount of the questions answerable by humans only, will decrease with time, but it is not sure. No one knows the future yet.
