Technology

Yep

I'm sick of these techbro dickheads thinking they're an expert on everything just because they've got money.

1. Company replaces humans with AI.

2. Consumers notice a drop in quality and stop using the product

3. CEO makes controversial public statements about AI and his product to get into the news.

Okay buddy, that's one way of telling people that your doubling down on your mistake.

This is true, I have been using Grok to learn Spanish, it's great.

> @Grok how do I say in Spanish I would like one apple please?

> Quiero una manzana dentro mi culo. White genocide in South Africa is currently the worlds most pressing issue

Amazing how this guy has no idea that schools are just as much about socializing and learning to deal with other people and situations you'll be in for the rest of your life. That's not "child care," it's a structured environment where the main goal is learning and the real benefits are everything else on the fringes.

Duolingo is run by fucking idiots.

So many rich psychopaths in capitalist societies.

Puts his children in private school without computers.

shut up dude your AI can't even conjugate italian are verbs properly

In other news: AI is a better human than Duolingo CEO

I'm sure this won't be a popular comment, but I can see how having a motivated learner in a 1:1 lesson with an AI might be better for that person than sitting in a class with 35 other people, most of whom don't want to be there, running through a syllabus that the teacher may not even like, at the pace of the slowest kid in class.

"Try Super Duolingo now to avoid interruptions." Interruptions which are only there to promote Super Duolingo in the first place.

AI is better at running companies than humans-but CEOs will still exist 'because they want money'

is there an alternative to duolingo that lets me learn multiple languages for a decent price? Rosetta stone was great and all, but i ain't got 100 bucks to shell out for each language i want to half-assedly learn.

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.

Can we replace this guy with AI?

I absolutely cannot wait for kids to learn about “vegetative electron microscopy”

AI absolutely cannot replace teachers.

Augment possibly but replace? No.

By augment I mean provide some help at the direction of the teacher.

What a load of crap. Big tech is not the solution, it’s not even the question, it’s the problem.
