Comment on Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI | The Verge
eatCasserole@lemmy.world 17 hours agoYeah, the comment section was amazing…and then they came out with “max”, where you get “explain my answer” for a premium, powered by a [notoriously fallible] LLM. This is the definition of enshitification.

This “AI first” thing was the last straw for me, but ever since I noticed that the comment section was gone there’s been a bad taste in my mouth. I wonder how many of us there are.

I’m pretty frustrated they removed dark mode as well, made it very hard to do a lesson before bed.

Duolingo? Mine still has dark mode. Maybe just for subscriptions?

One of the languages I am learning is an endangered native language, and it was super helpful to see knowledgeable people in the comments.

That’s honestly enraging!? Such data can be greatly valuable for learners, and the native speakers’ community, and linguistics.

It was an amazing resource. For them just to nuke it completely was very frustrating.
