Thank you for reading! You know that I am not anti-AI in all aspects, I just am a little more hesitant (like a cat haha). But the way businesses try to force it in everywhere just so they can take jobs away from other people and stunt brain health is genuinely concerning.

Oh I totally understand that. I do hate that businesses use it to exploit things. All dem tech bros … tsk tsk. That’s not how it hsould be used. Not should it be used to replace creativity …

Let alone language learning. Like let's be honest. Apart from the obvious, which is communication, language learning is an exceptional way to help the brain stay young!

Yes!!! Like I do like having a translator but it’s so much fun to learn a language. Whether you’re good at it or not, it’s just fun and you learn new things

I also love to learn new languages but I also get too anxious to try sometimes lol. Honestly, I need to take advantage of the area I live in and just start speaking more Spanish at least.

The inventers of AI are dumb! Use AI to do our chores and errands so we have more time creating. Yay for humans as we write, draw, paint, dance, sing...

Thank you for reading! They truly have it all backwards. Rather than encouraging activities that help grow healthy brains, they want to try and make everything "convenient" and of course just focus on profits above all. It just tickles me truly when they think AI will ever be the same as someone singing an operatic aria as a person.

..."AI will be able to teach our kids better than any human can."...indoctrinated them with what? If he is correct about A/i, surely Von Ahn will be replaced by an A/i retard.
