Mentioned this to people around me who are owldicted, and it did seem to change a thing. They agree with me the quality has dropped, they heard the stories that the lessons now dont properly teach you the language, but they continue using it. It is telling people not to use their pet names for passwords all over again.

I get that the term LLM has 'language' in its name, but this is the dumbest way to go about implementing them.
Keep the contractors for all the language lessons and plans, and only provide an LLM for either advanced material or self-continued teaching, as it can act as a simulated native speaker. You don't use it to fully replace your employees.
You do if the problem they are brought in to fix is wages.
To a capitalist, the greatest sin is paying the worker their fair due.
Every time you pay a worker the risk of them owning a little bit of the companies stock increases. And workers owning the means of production is socialism, so that means paying workers is for commies.
