Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI | The Verge
Duolingo is making some AI-focused changes.

It’s just a tool like anything else. You can’t put the genie back in the lamp. Some jobs go away and new jobs are created. Look at every industrial revolution we’ve had in the past. AI technology is not to the point of replacing mankind.
The difference is that the actual revolutions like that generally use technology that actually works.
This is the kind of guy who's cool and okay about AI untill it takes their job.
Honestly, at this point I sort of wish there was a new technology that was as advanced and useful and revolutionary as the various hype-waves of the last few years have claimed, be it block chain, hyperloop or now AI. They all share in common that the hype just refuses to die because scammers love them even though their actual use cases are extremely limited.
Have you ever used AI tools? What kinds of things are you expecting it to do? It can do a lot of minor tasks well.
Yeah. Which means, replacing all workers with AI will not work out well. A wrench alone can't fix your plumbing.
It can definitely replace some jobs with minimal oversight.
Yeah, except that ai is almost 40% wrong, yet it pretends to know everything and sounds very convincing. It will never tell you "i don't know" or "that's a bad idea, don't do that" like a real person or friend would do but instead encourages your with everything. Still, app developers sell ai chat bots as "virtual friends" to insecure people.
Of course any implementation will need oversight, but it can do many things as good or better than a human.
But AI can be inaccurate, which is a problem when trying to teach people things
For sure. You don’t just let it run the show. Nobody is saying there won’t be oversight.
"the genie" lmfao
if i knew you fucking people were going to do another round of pretending AI was real, i would have taken up sky diving in 2012
“you fucking people” wow. So aggressive. Parachute-less skydiving was probably a good idea.
yeah i aggressively dislike people who believe in genies and it makes me want to kms because you never go away, is that a problem?
Too many bots on social media these days. Doesn’t understand simple idioms. I guess I was wrong about AI. It is reallllly stupid doo doo dumb.
