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

    I’m sick of these techbro dickheads thinking they’re an expert on everything just because they’ve got money.

      Well, the poor tend to be less educated and only care about immediate needs. So yeah, if you have money, you’re probably more of an expert than a person without money.

          Considering the fact that I grew up in extreme poverty - yes, yes I know ALL about them. Unlike random muricans who’s only struggle is inability to buy a new iPhone each year.

        I’m poor as shit and I think I’m pretty damn smart.

        My ex was a trust fund baby and dumb as rocks. I did his college capstone for him.

          People who think they are smart usually overestimate their abilities.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

          Personally I don’t buy into the whole measurable intelligence mentality. I am a firm believer that a person without any medically significant cognitive deficiencies are all smart in some way and are experts in some particular field/subject.

            Dunning-Kruger is very overstated.

            The original paper by Dunning and Kruger starts with the quote: “It is one of the essential features of incompetence that the person so inflicted is incapable of knowing that they are incompetent.” This idea has spread far and wide through both scientific literature and pop culture alike. But according to the work of my colleagues and me, the reality is that very few people are truly unskilled and unaware. The Dunning and Kruger experiment did find a real effect – most people think they are better than average. But according to my team’s work, that is all Dunning and Kruger showed. The reality is that people have an innate ability to gauge their competence and knowledge. To claim otherwise suggests, incorrectly, that much of the population is hopelessly ignorant.
