I liked your article. I think everyone’s argument to any app/computer based /SaaS based stock is just “AI”, even though these same people wouldn’t even be using that argument a year ago before this AI media agenda popped up. I used Duolingo to learn Spanish for rh last year because my in laws are Hispanic. Sure, I could have AI translate Spanish for me when I talk to them, but how impersonal is that ? I’m using Duolingo to learn how to ACTUALLY speak to them without having to wear any AI devices like a weirdo
Excellent points you make here. In general I struggled to see the absolutely longevity of the success of DUOL. But the thing you touch on here, is people's need to learn.
The comparison with chess is very strong, and that completely hammered home your point to me.
Learning chess is about self-improving, setting challenges and the drive to learn.
That's exactly what DUOL is offering, but purely focused on language (and soon other avenues)
Good write-up! Appreciate the thought-provoking piece, and I might have to dive deeper into DUOL

Any updates?
No company would endorse the use of real-time translation in the workplace, it poses too many risks. Learning a foreign language is necessary.

Hi! If you replace "real-live translate" with "AI" it is similar.
At the end, evolution is highly correlated with necessity.
