Amazing how this guy has no idea that schools are just as much about socializing and learning to deal with other people and situations you'll be in for the rest of your life. That's not "child care," it's a structured environment where the main goal is learning and the real benefits are everything else on the fringes.

We need a "thank you for sharing and fuck that!" Option, not just a like and dislike

Children will just jailbreak the AI. I managed to jailbreak far-right chatbots (until certain platforms started to block common phrases for this purpose), children will be able to do it too.

Also AI is so caca at most jobs the best it could do is help corporations to either produce more low-quality services (which at one point, won't be sustainable) and help in bluffing their way to lower wages and lesser worker protections. At this point, it's barely more than a toy and a spam machine, and most of its supposed cost cuttings rely on both speculations of its future and investment funds to make it look like it's a "free" technology.

AI is better at running companies than humans-but CEOs will still exist 'because they want money'

AI can't teach you manners lmao

What a load of crap. Big tech is not the solution, it’s not even the question, it’s the problem.

Certainly nobody needs Duolingo to learn anything

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I use duolingo every day and it's alright for vocabulary. It actually recently had some voice exercises to practice everyday conversation and it has been great as well.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Can we replace this guy with AI?

CEO disdain for humanity, as exhibited by this individual, makes me wonder if people named Luigi might feel that they are needed by CEOs.

As someone who has actually been in a classroom and dealt with 20 kids—fuck off CEO with no real experience dealing with people.

Personalities, learning types, inequity, and so much more contribute to how people learn. A computer program cannot account for this. Also, what are you going to do when a kid doesn’t want to learn from a computer? Strap them down, force their hands on a keyboard, and shock them if they move or visit a program/site that isn’t what you want in that moment of teaching?

Good. Fucking. Luck.

P.S., Duolingo doesn’t do a good job of making you fluent in a language. It might give you basics of understanding, but you aren’t going to be chatting like any sort of native unless things have changed in the last 4 years or so since I tried it. Your platform is piss poor, and the juice leaking from skunk’s rotten anus has more relevance than you.

In near future all CEOs will be replaced by AI

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

It would be very hard to be worse than them.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

An AI would definitely do a better job than this twerp. He should live by what he preaches and step down

What a take.

Schools will continue to exists because education centers makes plain dense for almost any halfdecent society.

Wether the teachers are a personal ai or a single human does not change that. Schools provide way more then just “a teacher”

That's like exactly what he says, you just restated his take...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

I say: I can't stand the CEO of Duolingo, and his supremely punchable smirk-face.
