Duolingo replaced its contract workers with AI. Now its eyes are set on schools.

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

        Apples are great against diarrhea.

        It’s just hard to get them out later.

      Good thing human teachers never have hidden biases.

        Indeed. Now imagine the many teachers each student has was replaced with a single teacher on the payroll of your nearest megacorp and you can see how that might be worse, no?

              I mean, I’m doing better than pretty much everyone on here. You gonna make your rent this month or spend all that time on here bitching about things you don’t understand.

        Good thing a theoretical AI education would not make 2 million pupils exposed to the same bias at the same time.
