I acknowledge that Duolingo is on the right track. However, I discovered that Duolingo is thinking of switching humans with AI for translations. In my honest opinion, this change should not occur. According to the article “The Risks of AI Translation” written by the SimulTrans Team, the writers claim “While they are remarkably efficient, they can struggle to capture the nuances of human language. Sarcasm, humor, cultural references, and idiomatic expressions often get lost in translation.” This quotation brings to light the acute issue of an absence of emotions when utilizing AI, highlighting the foreseeable plausibility of the general public perceiving AI warily. My opponents may argue that AI is affordable and available 24 hours a day, whilst humans have requisites. Even so, have they considered that AI may not always be accessible due to technological problems or updates?

Furthermore, a large amount of investment is required to fully utilize AI translation and gain profits. For a business with limited resources, this may present a huge future problem.

Should Duolingo replace human translator with AI?
