Can Quora Q&A be fed into a robot so that it could answer questions like a human?
Yes, its trivial to send Quora feeds into a chatbot or question answering API; however, chatbot replies tend to be “chatty” rather than informative, and currently available question answering APIs tend to just do simple, factual questions and answers. IBM researcher Bill Murdock believes that IBM Watson could handle Quora questions with a little re-tuning; however, IBM Watson does not currently offer any API. Furthermore, since Quora has no API yet, it would be more challenging to post answers back to Quora.
