What happened to Duolingo staff when they switched to artificial intelligence

I heard some news about Duolingo making big changes to their team recently. They apparently decided to use AI technology instead of keeping some of their human workers. This got me thinking about how companies are handling the shift toward automation these days.

Does anyone know the full story about what exactly happened? I’m curious about which departments were affected and how this decision impacted the people who lost their jobs. Also wondering if other language learning apps are doing similar things.

It seems like this trend of replacing workers with AI is becoming more common across different industries. What do you think about companies making these kinds of choices? Is this just the way things are going now or should there be more consideration for the human cost?

totally understand your concern! it’s a tough situation for sure. losing jobs to AI really sucks, especially when it’s around the holidays. businesses need to balance efficiency with a human touch, and this shift feels way harsh on those who contributed.
