I ended my time on Duolingo in the #NewYear, after finding out they sacked a bunch of translators and are now relying on AI to generate sentences for learning. Essentially, they are just generating the content via AI and having a limited number of translators "check the work" before putting it up into their programs.

I also noticed that, the longer I went on in my Duolingo program, the quality of the learning seemed to decrease dramatically, and after learning about the AI thing, it started to dawn on me that this could be part of the reason for that. But even if it isn't related, the fact that they are making this move toward AI only means in the future, the learning WILL decrease in quality whether we like it or not, and that's no fun at all.

So No Thanks, #Duolingo. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

It's probably a good thing to stop now anyway, after I got this lovely message in my inbox before the New Year:

An email pop-up toast/notification from Duolingo that says: Title: "Don't make Duo angry (angry face emoji), learn a language in 2024", Message excerpt: "Keep Duo happy (praying emoji) Stick to language learning in 2024 Do your language lessons in 2024 or Duo wil... Don't make Duo angry (angry face emoji)"

The pyramid is upside down. Admin serve producers. They are assistants, solely. Today they rule through rules they claim we want.
They stifle, restrict, limit, and their very way of order is part Orwellian, part #Kafkaesque.

My solution:
1. All #administrative staff report to a '#producer' for annual assessment, i.e. a #teacher, #doctor, salesman, brickie, cashier, technologist.
2. Any admin more than two roles away from a producer: #sacked & offered retraining.

4/4
