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.

@DerrialBook @ben @KitsuneVixi I hear you Derrial. We all make our choices based on our experiences and needs.
The Irish language learning community, of which i am part, is very down on the Duolingo Irish course because it is genuinely awful. Made worse by the substitution of good Irish speakers with AI crap, for 'reasons'. Those reasons being to drive up the share price - never mind the customer experience. Cory Doctorow calls it 'enshittification'.
