The popular language-learning program Duolingo cut 10 percent of its contracted translators last month amid a generative AI push.

Duolingo is very much on the Enshittification path, seems like they fired a number of translators and have the rest just proofreading AI.

      Sadly it didn’t work for me. I liked the concept but gave up after two weeks because I didn’t enjoy the experience at all and didn’t seem to make any progress (Swiss learning Spanish). YMMV of course.
