And people eat this stuff up wholly, they can't tell it's fake, and don't believe it when the details are pointed out to them. With AI getting better and better, it will keep getting harder to tell. If you use gen-AI, you should at the very least be TRANSPARENT about it. Scammers fucking suck. [2/2]

The final nail in the coffin here wasn't even ai, but their inappropriate response to the backlash with turning it into a massive joke with the social media blackout. Maybe the bird should have stayed dead (4/4) #duolingo

Duolingo is nothing without its community, and with how they've ostracized their community with their tone-deaf ignorant approach, they have become nothing. (3/4) #duolingo

It used to make me feel good, but now, with the removal of the community features, the addition of AI-everything, with the CEO openly saying he wants to take an AI-first approach, I'm done. The hidden subtext of AI-first is, as it has always been, community-last. (2/4) #duolingo
