Speech-Language Pathologist Deletes Duolingo After AI Takeover
The debate surrounding AI's role in language learning is heating up. Fangirlmeegs, a speech-language pathologist with a 1831-day Duolingo streak, recently announced her departure from the platform due to its shift towards AI. "As a speech-language pathologist, I know that language learning needs the human component," she stated in a recent video. This decision highlights growing concerns about the potential downsides of AI-driven language learning, prompting discussions about the importance of human interaction in effective language acquisition.
