I signed this because I am strongly against AI within educational borders. To normalize the usage of AI in casual education apps, Duolingo, for example, is to push the payload of AI being normalized for actual education within institutions. It's unacceptable. Language is a human thing. Of course, tools like Grammarly exist and adapt our languages but that is a matter of user assistance (although having things being rewritten is disgusting). As stated in this petition, the quality will decline. AI has not progressed far enough to even be useful. From personal experience with educational AI school material, it's just a disaster and frustration for you and the AI (because Lord knows we're foolishly pushing towards sentience or at least a generated version of it).
Laure supported: Stop Duolingo from Sacrificing Quality for AILanguage learning is a core part of what it means to be human. Please don’t fire human workers with families and friends and lives just to make a bit more profit. Unless something changes, I will not renew my paid membership.
Brynn supported: Stop Duolingo from Sacrificing Quality for AII already canceled my Duolingo subscription when Duolingo started laying off contract workers months ago. Their confirmation that they'll continue using AI, and laying off and not hiring more workers in the process, is deeply concerning to me and is making me consider deleting my account entirely. Duolingo, please reverse course - or at least wait until we have a better understanding of AI and have safeguards in place.
Claire supported: Stop Duolingo from Sacrificing Quality for AIMy lessons are breaking, this is the only way I can learn a new language, please don’t take away my only way to learn
Sydney supported: Stop Duolingo from Sacrificing Quality for AIAfter Duolingo's AI first announcement, I requested they fully delete my account, left my family plan, and deleted the app. I'll return when they recommit to the purpose of language learning - to improve human lives, not replace them.
Alexander supported: Stop Duolingo from Sacrificing Quality for AII have an over 4.5 year streak on Duolingo, and over the time I've used it, I've noticed the quality in learning drop significantly. AI can't replicate the job of a human, especially with languages. If that were the case, we would just rely on Google Translate. We come to Duolingo to do something more—to put an effort into training our minds, building up the power to speak for ourselves. If people like me are choosing to develop this skill by investing so much time through your app, it seems only reasonable that you invest in us in return.
Rebecca supported: Stop Duolingo from Sacrificing Quality for AIDuolingo had become a household name. I had multiple languages that I was in different stages of learning. As soon as this news broke, I deleted the app. As with most things, the quality had already decreased over time, but I won't stick around for the sharp drop-off in quality that we've already seen with other companies (Google summaries, Spotify wrapped, etc). I hope Duolingo improves in the future because it was a great app, but I won't use it again until the decision to rely on AI is reversed.
Amy supported: Stop Duolingo from Sacrificing Quality for AII am deeply concerned about Duolingo's increasing reliance on AI in the learning process. While I understand that AI can be an efficient tool for certain tasks, it simply cannot replicate the depth, flexibility, and emotional intelligence that real human interaction provides. Language learning is not just about memorizing words or sentences—it's about understanding culture, context, and the subtle nuances of communication that come from human connection. Over-relying on AI also risks turning the learning experience into something mechanical, transactional, and disconnected from truly mastering a language. I believe that Duolingo should prioritize maintaining a balance between technological advancements and the irreplaceable value of human involvement in the learning process. Please make a change before it’s too late.
Rohini supported: Stop Duolingo from Sacrificing Quality for AIThis is sad bc I’ve loved using duo and I’m about to hit my 365 day streak! But….It’s incredibly inhumane to throw out people that have been working for your company for years just to give their job to a robot. Ai first? More like money first. If you choose AI, you see the human race as expendable and for that I hope you feel immeasurable guilt and shame for the rest of your life. Please look at yourselves and make a change before it’s too late.
