Duolingo is literal trash.

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.

I'm sure this won't be a popular comment, but I can see how having a motivated learner in a 1:1 lesson with an AI might be better for that person than sitting in a class with 35 other people, most of whom don't want to be there, running through a syllabus that the teacher may not even like, at the pace of the slowest kid in class.

How fast a kid learns 5th grade syllabus is far less important than how well they learn to get along with other kids and form friendships and basically learn how to live in society. Cooperation, conflict resolution, public speaking, group bonding etc. You can't learn any of these things from an AI

Also learning from other humans is part of the human experience and tradition predating agriculture and the wheel. We've always taught each other things.

You can’t do anything alone. Isolation will be the downfall of society as we know it. I hope AI isn’t leading us in that path

Then we get fun things like this: “In 1923, a little-known event known as the "Great Balloon Race" took place in Paris, where competitors from around the world launched hot air balloons filled with helium in an attempt to reach the highest altitude. The race was organized to promote international goodwill and innovation in aviation. Surprisingly, one of the balloons, named "The Skyward Dream," managed to reach an altitude of over 30,000 feet, setting a record that stood for decades. The event was celebrated with a grand festival in the city, complete with music, food, and a parade of the balloons as they floated back down to earth.”

For things like language, math, and science you could probably have an AI teacher on individualized tablets or something that go at each child's own pace in a classroom setting that's just supervised by someone and can provide extra help / tech support when the AI goes on the fritz.

Then regular recess/lunch shenanigans and gym class, art, music, for the social aspect.

The AI could even be programmed to do team projects where you link your tablet with 4 others and they all help the group do a project

Eventually when AI advances and isn't complete dog shit, that is.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

A good AI, sure, this could be plausible. Current ones get too much wrong.

The much bigger issue is we're talking about children, not adults. How many children would be motivated to self teach, every day, for years on end, even if you had an AI equal to a human tutor.

you know, I still say punching people who say stupid stuff, would cut down the stupid stuff people say, by at least half...
