Lana SinapayenWow, Duolingo fired their translators to replace them by AI generated content. I thought they cared about language and communication! A lot of their courses are irreplaceable, the languages are not available in any other app and some real native people have made content for some of the endangered languages.
Sarah Fackrell@lana Wait, what? Do you happen to have a link handy so I can learn more? I tried googling but didn't get much (probably due to AI....)
@design_law I don't know how reputable this website is but it has a link to the reddit post where I first saw the info, and a screenshot of the firing email

@lana Thanks. I'm really hoping it's not true. I love Duo. But I've seen what AI did to Google Translate and I'm not interested in continuing with Duo if that's the road they're going down.
