That's pretty hilarious considering I've been using Duolingo (cracked apks) for years and these last couple of weeks the sentences it's been giving me are insane and weird, stupidly awkward things that no one would ever say IRL.

Airlearn isn't quite there as far as speech recognition but the lessons are a lot more natural and it actually tells you why and explains different parts of the culture around the language and why an idea might be expressed a certain way rather than how we're used to in English. An LLM could never.

Current LLMs aren't better teachers.

They might be in the future. But definitely not now.

Certainly nobody needs Duolingo to learn anything

I learn better with humans...this is billionaire excrement

Worst part is even after this idiot destroys his own company, he can just claim he was responsible for the highest ever peak stock share price (before he caused the decline).

AI can't teach you manners lmao

And that just underlines my decision to quit Duolingo when it got contaminated with AI stop.

I can tell you from experience that AI was worse at teaching me a language than humans were.

How can you be that dumb and a ceo at the same time..

In other news: AI is a better human than Duolingo CEO

I'm so close to letting my streak die because of this dude. Fuck him.

My library (and check yours, too!) has free access to Mango Languages, and what I have tried there has been nice. But they don't guilt trip you into doing lessons so you have to keep on top of it yourself.

Dude sucks

is there an alternative to duolingo that lets me learn multiple languages for a decent price? Rosetta stone was great and all, but i ain't got 100 bucks to shell out for each language i want to half-assedly learn.

Duolingo is literal trash.

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.

Children will just jailbreak the AI. I managed to jailbreak far-right chatbots (until certain platforms started to block common phrases for this purpose), children will be able to do it too.

Also AI is so caca at most jobs the best it could do is help corporations to either produce more low-quality services (which at one point, won't be sustainable) and help in bluffing their way to lower wages and lesser worker protections. At this point, it's barely more than a toy and a spam machine, and most of its supposed cost cuttings rely on both speculations of its future and investment funds to make it look like it's a "free" technology.

Any alternatives for learning Japanese? I have already learned about 500 words and 20 kanji.

ai can teach, and cheaper than humans, but I doubt its better than most of us
