Duolingo replaced its contract workers with AI. Now its eyes are set on schools.

      Good thing human teachers never have hidden biases.

        Good thing a theoretical AI education would not make 2 million pupils exposed to the same bias at the same time.

        Indeed. Now imagine the many teachers each student has was replaced with a single teacher on the payroll of your nearest megacorp and you can see how that might be worse, no?

              I mean, I’m doing better than pretty much everyone on here. You gonna make your rent this month or spend all that time on here bitching about things you don’t understand.

        It’s just hard to get them out later.
