the green duolingo owl has the change to do the funniest thing
Too much hallucinations in AI, We don't want to learn the wrong things.
Yeah. Humans are totally reliable

Don't want to learn the wrong thing right.
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.

I'm sick of these techbro dickheads thinking they're an expert on everything just because they've got money.

Okay buddy, that's one way of telling people that your doubling down on your mistake.
Yep
is there an alternative to duolingo that lets me learn multiple languages for a decent price? Rosetta stone was great and all, but i ain't got 100 bucks to shell out for each language i want to half-assedly learn.
I just dumped Duolingo after this AI bullshit and am testing Mango Languages. So far I like it, but it is way different than Duolingo. Way less gamified and more focused on speaking. Plus, it gives cultural context to certain phrases that don't literally translate, which I find interesting and valuable. if you are in the US, your library might offer a free subscription with your library card.
I'm sure this won't be a popular comment, but I can see how having a motivated learner in a 1:1 lesson with an AI might be better for that person than sitting in a class with 35 other people, most of whom don't want to be there, running through a syllabus that the teacher may not even like, at the pace of the slowest kid in class.
Social aspect is missed
Yeah, the social aspect of a dick head in the last row screaming obscenities at a teacher is definitely missed!
When you become an adult you still have to deal with dick heads screaming around you, I know this is Lemmy and people who come here might not have the best social skills, or fond memories of being in school. But schools are a micro representation of the world at large and it's necessary for kids to have both these good and bad experiences in order to grow up to live in society and deal with all the shit life's gonna throw at them.
I guess someone's stuck in a kindergarten...
VS kids being taught that the holocaust is a lie or whatever insane shit comes from an AI?
The only insane shit here comes from the gasket between your chair and your keyboard.
