Comment on Duolingo CEO tries to walk back AI-first comments, fails
elbarto777@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI gotta say, the icon of Duo looking like this, plus a snot coming out of one of its nostrils is what did it for me. No way to turn off this “feature” either. I’m not easily grossed out, so seeing it once or twice would have given me a chuckle. Seeing it every time I opened my phone? Nope.

Yup! Google “Duolingo snot icon” and it will be the first image result.

I think on iOS they added a thing where it would change based on the days you didn’t use Duolingo. Honestly at this point I think it speaks more about the sorry state of their company more than anything.
