Another tech imbecile to join the pack

Um, aktuly, this man has over 600 different notifications reminding him to practice a language.

He's clearly a genius.

I'm torn between deleting this asshole's app and continuing to learn Spanish...

Porque no se un application mejor. 🤷‍♂️

There are plenty other apps as good or better than duolingo that aren't shoving ai everywhere.

I've switched to busu. But that was just one of a few options I saw on a similar post. I don't remember the others since I'm not using them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Counterpoint: The reason AI cannot be a better teacher is that it does not and cannot handle the physical "care" part of teaching. You can provide a 5th grader all the material they need to know, but good luck getting them to absorb that, especially if they don't want to learn.

And the children of soulless assholes like him need to be around other humans to learn how to socialise

I agree.

All of that stuff is available online but going to a place to work on it specifically is still important. Even as the pedagogy changes there still needs to be a place away from home and work and toys to learn how to study and to study.

May I ask why you agree? What makes ai a better teacher than a human at the primary school level?

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Any level. Early level and the kids may not even know what questions to ask and they certainly can't fact check the AI. Late level and you need your own knowledge base to think critically and develop new things and use old things in new ways.
