The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why do people on Quora ask silly questions about the facts which can be googled very easily?
I'm not entirely sure, but I'm guessing that people want quick answers without having to sift through search results. Maybe they don't trust the information they find through a simple search.
That's a possibility. Another reason could be that some people simply enjoy being part of a community and asking questions can spark conversations and engagement.
