This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
AI can't teach you manners lmao
Duolingo is run by fucking idiots.
I hate this app so much now. It has become the poster child of enshittification by gamification.
In near future all CEOs will be replaced by AI
An AI would definitely do a better job than this twerp. He should live by what he preaches and step down
It would be very hard to be worse than them.
CEO disdain for humanity, as exhibited by this individual, makes me wonder if people named Luigi might feel that they are needed by CEOs.
"Try Super Duolingo now to avoid interruptions." Interruptions which are only there to promote Super Duolingo in the first place.
Certainly nobody needs Duolingo to learn anything
I use duolingo every day and it's alright for vocabulary. It actually recently had some voice exercises to practice everyday conversation and it has been great as well.
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.
+1 for language transfer.
The gamification only works until you figure out the rules they used.
I have completed multiple lessons on Duolingo without ever reading the prompt. I even started a language I knew nothing about because I felt like I wasn't actually absorbing anything in the language I'd spent more than a year on, and pretty much the same results. After a few lessons it became possible to complete lessons basically blind.
I mean yeah none of that is wrong but all I said was I like gamification in learning, not that Duolingo was the best form of gamification ever presented.
I'm just glad I pirated the premium version
What a take.
Schools will continue to exists because education centers makes plain dense for almost any halfdecent society.
Wether the teachers are a personal ai or a single human does not change that. Schools provide way more then just “a teacher”

That's like exactly what he says, you just restated his take...
The school they discuss that has guides to be the 'human' interaction between the AI learning is charging 40k-65k a year. That's for 2 hours a day of learning.
If it was better than humans, it'd be making life better not more expensive.
It is better. Better for them.
Dude just can't help himself. Gotta open his mouth and dropkick his own throat.
All because he fucked up.
I just don't know why every one of these idiots looks so damn punchable.
I say: I can't stand the CEO of Duolingo, and his supremely punchable smirk-face.
I want to learn a couple languages soon. I won't be using Duolingo to do so now.
These paint chip eating overgrown children are so detached from reality it's not even funny.
Oh don't worry, using Duolingo would've never taught you a language anyway!
I regret that I have no duolingo account that I can cancel.
Dude sucks
oh, i get it now! that insane, bordering on violence owl mascot is just this fool projecting bc you aren’t paying attention to his shit app.
Any alternatives for learning Japanese? I have already learned about 500 words and 20 kanji.
I am using lingodeer to learn korean, but i know it also has Japanese. I was using duolingo for korean and Japanese, but the korean lessons were terrible.
I haven't worked with it myself as I'm not working on Japanese right now, but I had a recommendation recently for Satori Reader.
I'll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.
