Wow, Duolingo fired their translators to replace them by AI generated content. I thought they cared about language and communication! A lot of their courses are irreplaceable, the languages are not available in any other app and some real native people have made content for some of the endangered languages.

The funny thing is, if they truly believe this is a perfect fit for AI, it follows that duolingo believes it itself is obsolete: why would your users learn any language when they can instead use automated translation?

@lana Duolingo doesn't want you to learn a language, they want you to keep using the app.

@lana ??? Lots of the courses were made by volunteers. For Czech-English I know that for sure.
