For those who aren’t leaving Duolingo, you can still get the paid features by creating a class and joining it. Or at least that’s how it worked the last time I used it, which was a few years ago now.

Creating a school no longer provides any benefit for the students.

It’s just a tool like anything else. You can’t put the genie back in the lamp. Some jobs go away and new jobs are created. Look at every industrial revolution we’ve had in the past. AI technology is not to the point of replacing mankind.

Yeah. Which means, replacing all workers with AI will not work out well. A wrench alone can’t fix your plumbing.

It can definitely replace some jobs with minimal oversight.

“you fucking people” wow. So aggressive. Parachute-less skydiving was probably a good idea.

But AI can be inaccurate, which is a problem when trying to teach people things

For sure. You don’t just let it run the show. Nobody is saying there won’t be oversight.

The difference is that the actual revolutions like that generally use technology that actually works.

Have you ever used AI tools? What kinds of things are you expecting it to do? It can do a lot of minor tasks well.

Honestly, at this point I sort of wish there was a new technology that was as advanced and useful and revolutionary as the various hype-waves of the last few years have claimed, be it block chain, hyperloop or now AI. They all share in common that the hype just refuses to die because scammers love them even though their actual use cases are extremely limited.

Yeah, except that ai is almost 40% wrong, yet it pretends to know everything and sounds very convincing. It will never tell you “i don’t know” or “that’s a bad idea, don’t do that” like a real person or friend would do but instead encourages your with everything. Still, app developers sell ai chat bots as “virtual friends” to insecure people.

Of course any implementation will need oversight, but it can do many things as good or better than a human.

Fuck their greed, I know that the bulk of their users wouldn’t caffè if the CEO started shooting puppies on Main Square, but they can train their AI on Deez

Could probably ask them for a refund based on their significant change in how services are provided.

It’s kind of a gray area for me, because I did split a family plan with a friend. I’ll swallow my shame for the next 10 months, but that’s the end of the line.

It’s okay. We can all play that game. I’ve replaced my use of Duolingo with AI.

Pro tip: have as your “system prompt” in your LLM of choice “at the end of every query, include me a short Swedish relates to my prompt”. No need for Duolingo.

At least AI can give you actual grammar lessons
