first of all duolingo is a dogshit way of learning of language
second of all you can find something called vanced duolingo which is basically premium but for free
thirdly, language speakers will always be needed so cope, imagine having a job in foreign country and letting a fucking google translate speak every word for you to your employer/colleagues

ChatGPT can't voice over the text while learning Japanese. It sucks until they allow real TTS. Until then, Duolingo is better

For example. ChatGPT types something in Japanese. You understand most of what it said but have a problem understanding 1 word. You can't just mouse over that 1 word and have it TTS it. You have to make it repeat the whole sentence

The joy of learning a second language isn't in the fact you can translate stuff through it. Of course, being an American who can only speak (just about) American (a butchered, idiots version of English) you'd never understand that.

There's no point learning any other language than English when you sit and think about it.
Are you going to live in (or very regularly visit) a country that speaks it? Waste of time if you are not going to be around native speakers of the language. A minor interaction in a store with 1 person isn't worth it.
Do you like the people and culture there? You will have a hard time learning it if you aren't fully interested and immersed in it.
Here's the one most people never consider - Is it absolutely pointless because people in the country will speak better English than you will ever speak their language? Meaning communication in English would be favourable anyway.

Sorry, it's a bad joke. The value of proprietary shit like that is to act as a swift kick in the ass for everyone else.
Other megacorps can choose to let OpenAI capture the market with their blatant dumping strategy, or they can try to compete at a loss with them and see who gets tired of pissing money away first, or they can release actually open models and raise the floor for everyone.

I had to be an edgelord in high school and take Russian while everyone else took French. And I actually committed to it through university electives and later just practicing with native speakers online. So I'm "fluent" in Russian.

It's something neat on my resume and I can watch Russian shows without subtitles. That's pretty much it. I don't regret it but in hindsight I wouldn't have dedicated that amount of time to it given what I've gotten out of it.

Your shitty parents should have had you learning a second language as a child. But they didn't. And neither did mine. And if you don't learn it then you can never truly be a natural speaker in it. Non-English speaking countries understand this since English runs the world. But I think there's an intangible benefit to being able to speak and think in multiple languages which by adulthood you'll sadly never get the chance to do.

All the new AI shit is what sci-fi movies have been showing us for the past few decades as hard AI/AGI.
Now we're playing with it and going "yeah but no that doesn't count, it's just basic matrix operations running on a few video cards" or "heh, it fumbled a translation here, it's obviously not AGI."

English may be the new lingua franca of the West, but it's a stretch to say that it "runs" the world. It is too sloppy to resist globohomo erosion anyway. Which is why anglophone countries are so prone to nonsensical neologisms like "transgender" or "literally" being the new figuratively.

In fact in just a few decades English has been dilluted faster than Latin or French have in centuries, and I suspect LLMs will only exarcebate this.

Latin is a dead language, you head of cabbage. How shocking that its daily speakers wouldn't come up with neologisms.
French gets new words frequently, despite the best efforts of some snubby institution that desperately tries to prevent the language getting further and further corrupted by English words (and fails.)

You're whining about a living language evolving. Many grumpy old men have done this before you. Many will after you. Languages that aren't dead will continue to evolve and grow.

One problem there is that it's generally impossible.
One example: German loves to put their verbs at the end of their sentences. Not all the time, just many times.
So if it's a long sentence that happens to have the verb at the end, you can either have your AI guess and risk getting it very wrong, or wait several seconds.
