    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?

      The problem with current AI text generation is that it can be wrong, which is bad if you are trusting it with giving correct information to learn

      Deepl, even though its made for translating, it is often wrong

      I know I’m going to sound like a stock Marxist from the 1930s, but: AI is a means of production and therefore should be collectivized.

        the devs appropriated the models from the masses.

      Anki is great for flashcards with lots of community generated decks for free download:

      They already have AI driven conversations if you pay.

        Which is about the extent AI could benefit a service like Duolingo. Gutting their workforce isn’t going to make it any better.

      As someone learning Japanese

      There’s no fucking way AI would be able to assist in learning a second language

      Join a class. These apps are a waste of time.
