Readit NewsI hope they have improved since and wish them the best, but as sick of Apple I am, I am also too afraid to try FP again...
Can model providers be trusted to not be paid by advertisers? Can brands effectively influence how models react to them and their competitors?
I deff imagine brands flooding the internet with llm.txt files linked to their home pages but hidden from human visitors just to boost themselves up... what is the antidote?
Can attempts to influence LLM's be detected and reported?
I think you need to inject some semantic knowledge in the relations, f ex. "low vitamin d levels Is Good For chronic metabolic disease" is not very helpful.
This look a good case for adding some LLM to it.
Congrats on this work
Is Duo the best thing on the planet? No, does it serve a purpose? Yes. The reality is that, if people see their skills improving as a result of using the app (gamification etc included) then it doing its job.

This I strongly disagree with. Nothing can _make_ you learn other than your own willingness to do so. If you have the desire to learn, you will. If you do not, you won't. It is that simple and that is applicable to any subject.
Agreed, but most people see it anyways as a journey from point A to point B, and then it's done. Also, most people just settles for good enough, not continuously improving.

Problem being that duo tricks you into believing you are learning when you indeed are not. I feel encouraged when I understand something for first time, not when the godam owl gives me a high five because I matched a word with a picture.

Well, I am really willing to be a world class piano concertist and astronaut. Doesn't mean I'll become one. Motivation + habits set the baseline, the mimimum needed, but they are not remotely enough. Success would be pretty darn easy then.
I'd say that a best-selling novel today is at least 50% luck and 40% author pedigree + marketing.
A good novel, thou. That is an entirely different thing...
Name one sole app/course which will teach you absolutely everything there is to know about a given subject. There are none. All learning needs multiple avenues in order to be effective.
Even if you take part in a course with tutors they will you to practice out of the course and in your own time. Personally I found DuoLingo to be extremely helpful in getting the basics of Hindi down.

For a start, almost every other app succeeds at not treating you like a toddler and not resorting to emotional manipulation.
