@askcatgpt: The controversy around @Duolingo going “AI First” has surprised me. As a 5x language learner myself I’m aware that Duolingo is phenomenally positioned to take advantage of multimodal AI to make the best language learning app that has ever existed… but instead they let their investor relations press clash with consumer marketing… and it’s a fascinating fumble. Long story short, Duolingo doesn’t have a PR problem. AI does. The brands who prioritize conveying WHY they are adding AI to their products will keep their customers and gain new ones. The brands who smother AI over everything will lose an audience that’s frankly, sick of it. (aren’t we all? Be fr) #a#aib#brandstrategyp#prd#duolingo
Overused AI is literally increasing the speed in which we destroy the earth. To support it for jobs that humans are equipped to do is insane

There's already such a massive job crisis for folks who aren't upper level management. We don't need to be replacing the few attainable jobs we have with AI.

No one is mad that they are using AI. We don't like losing our ability to SURVIVE because the way we earn an income gets REPLACED by AI! Blaming us being mad on a lack of education is so out of touch

In a perfect world ai is a useful tool that nobody uses for bad and people wouldn’t loose their jobs over it but “babe” we don’t live in a world like that at all. Art is being stolen , jobs are lost.

it's not about boycotting every company at once, it's about boycotting the worst offenders until they die and we move on to the next one

Same, AI regulation is needed, but being against is like being against the industrial revolution decades ago

Just because many companies are doing it doesn't make it right.

Why not both? AI has a PR problem, and Dualingo had tone deaf communication around major changes in their business. A major fear is AI=lost jobs, and they made themselves a mascot.

My thing is that I remember seeing way back about like a post from either a current or ex-employee of Duolingo that was talking about how they wanted to change the systems.

What do you think those contractors do? Hire translators. The original email specified content production. How manual people cannot produce what A.I can.

It's not the fact that the company is using AI, it's the fact that they're replacing the actual contractors with AI, that would be like having AI write movies for Netflix instead of actual writers.

Uhhhh sorry no. The AI doesn’t actually understand the languages it’s teaching. Gaelic for example is an entire hodgepodge. AI depletes resources 40k times faster than any human. It’s going to 💀 us.

AI can be useful, but it’s going to be used to make owners and shareholders more money rather than lessen the workload for everyone while spreading the wealth and free time around

Maybe AI should have reviewed the email for potential PR mishaps

“Everybodies doing it so why boycott” as you ignore WHY ppl hate AI. It’s destroying our planet, replacing humans & very few laws restricting how it’s trained/used. These issues can be fixed.
