Language learning platform Duolingo recently announced that the company will fully implement an 'AI-first' strategy, with courses relying more on AI generation and less on language experts and human translators.
Some users pointed out that although recent courses have no grammatical errors, the language expression lacks naturalness and does not match real language environments.
Critics argue that language learning is not only about mastering grammar and vocabulary but also includes cultural background and communication habits, which AI finds difficult to fully understand and present.
Some people support technological innovation, while others question the platform's over-reliance on AI, neglecting the complexity of language education.
