duō lín guó多邻国xuān bù宣布“yǐ以rén gōng zhì néng人工智能wèi为zhōng xīn中心”,yǐn fā引发zhēng yì争议
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.
Duolingo stated that this change can improve course efficiency and make learning faster.
However, some users expressed concerns, believing that the course quality might decline.
Some users pointed out that although recent courses have no grammatical errors, the language expression lacks naturalness and does not match real language environments.
Some users said they are already considering canceling their subscriptions.
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.
This adjustment has sparked intense discussions on social media platforms.
Some people support technological innovation, while others question the platform's over-reliance on AI, neglecting the complexity of language education.
