Duolingo replaced its contract workers with AI. Now its eyes are set on schools.

      Indeed. Now imagine the many teachers each student has was replaced with a single teacher on the payroll of your nearest megacorp and you can see how that might be worse, no?

      Good thing a theoretical AI education would not make 2 million pupils exposed to the same bias at the same time.
