    I’m wondering which of these 2 options is true for the chief techbro who came up with this:

    1. They are genuinely clueless, and have never used ChatGPT for more than 5 minutes
    2. They know the limitations of LLMs well, but they want to ride the AI hype to inflate their company value (and maybe cut some costs by downsizing)

      They believe in infinite growth. They think LLMs are going to get reliable fast. LLMs have probably played a direct role in convincing them of that

    Ever since their content is being created or at least sub crrated by AI the quality has gone down noticeable, ive seen so many incorrect sentences which is shit when trying to learn a language. And if i, as a beginner learner can figure out wrong sentences what the actual fuck is ai doing?

    AI could make Duolingo better because it doesn’t teach a language in its current state. It could explain to the user why their answer is wrong and offer exercises. But instead of doing that, they simply replace employees to save money? What a garbage company. It’s a shame their app is so popular. It gives people nothing but a false sense of learning.

    I was gonna say language learning is actually one of the few AI might be useful for, but they’re not talking about making their users learn with a little AI translator having a random conversation with them; they’re replacing their workforce with AI.

    Fuck. I was considering using Duo once I finish school to give myself some more options to flee the US as we dive deeper into nazism. Any good alternatives?
