You got a lotta faith in a group filled with religious zealots and flat earthers.
I ended my sub and deleted my account when they announced they’d be replacing their contract workers with AI.
Lingonaut looks promising. And I’ve been trying out Language Transfer for Spanish. I’ve learned more about how Spanish “works” in an hour of Language Transfer than I did with months of Duolingo. I’m smacking myself for wasting the time - though I do enjoy the gamification.
I quite like Busuu after switching from Duo. Still hanging out for a Japanese Language Transfer course
If you have a library card, you might check with your library to see if they have free access to something like Mango Languages, as well.
Mine does, so I can use that app for free. I'm probably going to switch to it as my main app soon because this guy is an asshole.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
As someone who has actually been in a classroom and dealt with 20 kids—fuck off CEO with no real experience dealing with people.
Personalities, learning types, inequity, and so much more contribute to how people learn. A computer program cannot account for this. Also, what are you going to do when a kid doesn’t want to learn from a computer? Strap them down, force their hands on a keyboard, and shock them if they move or visit a program/site that isn’t what you want in that moment of teaching?
Good. Fucking. Luck.
P.S., Duolingo doesn’t do a good job of making you fluent in a language. It might give you basics of understanding, but you aren’t going to be chatting like any sort of native unless things have changed in the last 4 years or so since I tried it. Your platform is piss poor, and the juice leaking from skunk’s rotten anus has more relevance than you.
Duolingo has gotten worse since they fired their human staff and started embracing AI slop.
In near future all CEOs will be replaced by AI
An AI would definitely do a better job than this twerp. He should live by what he preaches and step down
What a cunt
How can you be that dumb and a ceo at the same time..
Have you heard of Donald trump? He was the CEO of lots of failed businesses.
CEO disdain for humanity, as exhibited by this individual, makes me wonder if people named Luigi might feel that they are needed by CEOs.
The school they discuss that has guides to be the 'human' interaction between the AI learning is charging 40k-65k a year. That's for 2 hours a day of learning.
If it was better than humans, it'd be making life better not more expensive.
Dude just can't help himself. Gotta open his mouth and dropkick his own throat.
All because he fucked up.
Children will just jailbreak the AI. I managed to jailbreak far-right chatbots (until certain platforms started to block common phrases for this purpose), children will be able to do it too.
Also AI is so caca at most jobs the best it could do is help corporations to either produce more low-quality services (which at one point, won't be sustainable) and help in bluffing their way to lower wages and lesser worker protections. At this point, it's barely more than a toy and a spam machine, and most of its supposed cost cuttings rely on both speculations of its future and investment funds to make it look like it's a "free" technology.
AI can't teach you manners lmao
What a take.
Schools will continue to exists because education centers makes plain dense for almost any halfdecent society.
Wether the teachers are a personal ai or a single human does not change that. Schools provide way more then just “a teacher”
I want to learn a couple languages soon. I won't be using Duolingo to do so now.
These paint chip eating overgrown children are so detached from reality it's not even funny.
I regret that I have no duolingo account that I can cancel.
I say: I can't stand the CEO of Duolingo, and his supremely punchable smirk-face.
fuck this fetus looking cum stain.
