The AI probably has trouble drawing hearts, flip flopping between anatomically correct ones and the symbol.

This is sad to see how far deep Duolingo has gone into the shittificatio hole. I really enjoyed doing the lessons with my whole family, but I guess we’ll be searching out a new way to get our second-language skill up to date. The AI thing wasn’t the absolute last nail for me, but this is.

The benefit of the previous system was that if you understood what was happening, you could practice for a long time, but if you kept failing, it would basically lock you out so you can put it down, recoup and come back later. This is now punishing people who are consistent and are understanding the language dynamics. Sad to see.
