FFS: What an absolute bellend: "Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will still exist ‘because you still need childcare’"

Were I still using that POS Duolingo, this would have made me stop.

Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will still exist ‘because you still need childcare’

Duolingo replaced its contract workers with AI, and it has its eye set on schools.

@bullivant Do you know a good alternative app? I use Duo but the app is more bothered about user engagement than actual teaching and it doesn't care about the difficulty of what the user is learning when it hands out points, so you can rack up points doing very basic maths yet earn few points learning a difficult language.

I also use an app by BNR Languages which is good but it doesn't do grammar so is limited.

@mimi @bullivant saysomethingin.com is much better than duolingo.
