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?

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.

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.
