Listen to the full ACQ2 episode 🎙️ Why Duolingo Worked (with Luis von Ahn, CEO)

[BassRemedy]

yay i cant wait to spend weeks or months memorizing words and phrases that turn out to be completely wrong because the AI was halucinating 😅

[BaronMagick]

Oh yeah. Let's just forget what contributors did for us.

[Securitybreachwillow]

… AI has took over.. I miss the old Duolingo…. 😭

[Insanity-nuqr]

All their funny marketing strategies almost made me forget they're a company that doesn't care about anything but their wallets.

[KateIsOld]

Yeah, they wanted AI to do the job to cut costs and hire less people. Great. But why the cost of my subscription is the same then? I don't want to pay the same amount of money for AI courses, that are objectively worse

[cooolguy]

This is an awful direction for the company

[DreamscapeMuses]

The balls on this dude lol. This was so brazen that I honestly thought this short was AI-created lol. But seriously, what got me was the "Or whatever". These two words summed up that employees are replaceable and meaningless, and AI might do a crap job but hey, mo' money for me.

AI means we don’t have to learn languages, 😂

[AutumnAllyn]

THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO SAVE MONEY AND ITS FOR THE GOOD OF OUR EXPERIENCES! NOBODY LOST THEIR JOBS EITHER

[Yow]

⚠️ PLEASE READ THIS ⚠️

“Yes it is true they used ai on many courses but the courses that ai would be terrible at would be used by humans and no one was fired and they will continue to employ humans absolutely NO ONE lost their jobs sure they will hire less contractors but they are contractors they don’t only specifically work for Duolingo they have other things and remember they will still hire contractors”

SO SIMPLE YET YOUR BRAIN CANT UNDERSTAND 🙏
