I dropped my 700 streak a few years ago when it was first found out they were using AI. Moved onto better things now and hopefully others do the same too regardless of the backpedaling.
i hope the spell remains broken and much like target got everyone realizing they didnt have to buy all that shit this has people realizing bully owl hasnt actually gotten them fluent in anything
Good, now bully him into making Scots-Gaelic more easier to learn. They got like seven different accents on the recordings and I feel like I'm learning jack.
No, I'm not suggesting everything's OK now or that they aren't likely to still try and do it, but what I'm suggesting is that by waffling at all in these stances they're showing room to continued to be pressured and we need to KEEP BULLYING
This is precisely what I would expect to happen too. They've shown their true colors, they've told you EXACTLY who they really are. BELIEVE THEM, and never use their products again.
Don't care, I'm still going to break my streak on Saturday at the end of the month. The lessons have gotten SO much worse as I've gotten further in French, and I keep getting the SAME. FUCKING. EXERCISES.
Gonna tap out with a French score of 77 and a 1337-day streak. Good riddance.
I’m not sure this is really a backpedal. The first phrase says contractors will be replaced; the second says AI won’t replace “employees”. I’ve been a contract worker long enough to know they pull out the “e” word when they want to start excluding you from fair wages or benefits
Collective customer action definitely had a huge role in this, but also I'm imagining that internally the company realized it couldn't function with just AI doing everyone's jobs because AI can't actually fucking do anyone's job because it doesn't have any critical thinking skills.
I did my part by nuking my account. I’ll turn it back on in a year if they’ve actually course corrected. Maybe. Maybe they just deserve to pay for their hubris.
Welp, it's been more than 23 days or whatever, so my 1700 days streak or whatever it was is long gone, as my account was deleted right before my boss asked me to learn BR Portuguese.
The neat thing about these companies publicly going full AI is that their user base will never trust them again. Just destroying their loyal audience for 6 hours at best of goosing their stock price.
You’d think any of these guys would have looked at what happens to every corp that betrays customer trust but they never do. Enjoy the dumpster Duo, you’re done.
Bullying + seeing the app making easily avoidable mistakes in translation because you wanted to replace experienced language users for a hallucinatory AI
The second people let the pressure off they'll go right back to that shit as soon as they think nobody is looking. I say FUCK THEM UP! Don't just bully them, run them out of business.

But at the same time, criticizing a CEO isn't "bullying". I kinda hate that people are trying to glorify that word.
