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

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.

He's right. I went to highschool with 50 kids per class, where teachers played on their phones, or hid in their office, or just switched jobs requiring year round substitutes. I took remedial math because that was what had room, and when my teacher realized that he looked like he died inside a little bit.

He's right... in that AI is better than some teachers. AI is a step up for some kids.

The school they discuss that has guides to be the 'human' interaction between the AI learning is charging 40k-65k a year. That's for 2 hours a day of learning.

If it was better than humans, it'd be making life better not more expensive.

[-] floo@retrolemmy.com 12 points 2 days ago

It is better. Better for them.

AI can't teach you manners lmao

[-] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 days ago

Dude just can't help himself. Gotta open his mouth and dropkick his own throat.

All because he fucked up.

[-] Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

I just don't know why every one of these idiots looks so damn punchable.

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Because they are.

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...

I want to learn a couple languages soon. I won't be using Duolingo to do so now.

These paint chip eating overgrown children are so detached from reality it's not even funny.

[-] KumaSudosa@feddit.dk 6 points 2 days ago

Oh don't worry, using Duolingo would've never taught you a language anyway!

[-] j4yt33@feddit.org 12 points 2 days ago

Certainly nobody needs Duolingo to learn anything

[-] Litebit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I noticed too many hallucinations in AI, We don't want to learn the wrong things. For beginners, the risk of learning the wrong thing is high and just add to confusion. I switched back to humans for most things.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

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

[-] xenomor@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

I regret that I have no duolingo account that I can cancel.

Any alternatives for learning Japanese? I have already learned about 500 words and 20 kanji.

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago

Give Hey Japan a look. I'm a noob, but it seems friendly.

[-] Dalraz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

I am using lingodeer to learn korean, but i know it also has Japanese. I was using duolingo for korean and Japanese, but the korean lessons were terrible.

[-] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Maybe some of the resources on this site can help.

[-] engineer@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago

I haven't used it much, but https://www.wanikani.com/ claims they are pretty good.

He's not wrong. Schools are day-prisons where parents leave their kids while they slave away to make the rich richer. Most teachers (in my experience at least) are absolute shit, and so are the education systems (again in my experience). And before the 'in the Scandinavian countries...' bunch comes: I know a few Nordic people, not impressed, they just have lots of money to throw at the problems (which I would say is the secret for every other statistics they excel in).

Quick edit: that being said I don't know anyone, including myself, that has learned a language with Duolingo. Can be fun but it's useless for actually learning.

[-] alecbowles@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

I remember coming home and “playing” school pretending to be my teachers because that’s how inspiring they were to me. Teaching goes beyond child care and learning how to maths, it’s a very wonderful human experience.

[-] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

I'll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.
