Pathetic.
Bro duolingo destroyed years of accumulated knowledge in its user forums just to funnel people into it’s shitty subscription only AI assistant. All my homies hate duolingo
There is this lingonaut project that is working to bring that back. https://lingonaut.app/
What’s the best alternative to duolingo?
I feel this is a nothing burger. The outrage is only proportional to their level of honesty. Every company is looking to implement cost savings with this crap. These guys are just most honest and public about it. And have already started using AI in their courses, which has not improved them. So they’ll use AI to help with hiring decisions on contact workers? They’ll only hire new people if they cannot automate stuff? I think that’s pretty standard now whether we like it or not. They are not looking to reduce permanent staff, at least not right now. So let’s watch them fail with their AI strategy but we’re no closer to the sky falling.
Very soon, only AI will pay for subscription to learn a language on duolingo.
Fair take
I thought they already did this a couple years ago
