I use AI to solve problems, not to check the weather or deciding what to wear. As such it makes sense for AI to remember when it hits the nail on the head.

Agreed. Typically I would be against something like this, but in this case, have it.

I can understand training AIs on books, and even internet forums, but I can't help but think that training an AI on lots of dumb questions with probably an excessive amount of grammar and spelling errors will somehow make it smarter.

> and even internet forums

i would consider internet forums also includes a lot of dumb questions

Agree, but people generally take a small pause before saying stuff online.

In 'private', people are less ashamed of their ignorance, and also know they can say gibberish and the AI will figure it out.

Depends on how you’re using the data. There’s a pretty strong correctness signal in the user behavior.

Did they rephrase the question? Probably the first answer was wrong. Did the session end? Good chance the answer was acceptable. Did they ask follow-ups? What kind? Etc.
