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

    I noticed too many hallucinations in AI, We don’t want to learn the wrong things. For beginners, the risk of learning the wrong thing is high and just add to confusion. I switched back to humans for most things.

        The wrong thing I am talking about is language related, grammar, pronunciation, vocab, spelling, translation. Are those conspiracy theory topic and bible topics taught using correct grammar, spelling, vocab, translation, pronunciation and etc? If they are then I could care less what the topic is so long as it is interesting to me.

        Human can make mistakes but one clear difference I notice is that a human teacher will correct her past error in previous lesson but AI never does that.
