Studying with AI

Josh Johnson, a hot American comedian, regularly posts his shows on YouTube.  He has a slow/relaxed speaking style that you might find easier to understand then the usual fast speaking comedians. My YouTube feed ‘fed’ me his recent show ‘AI Teachers…’.  That compares learning with an App AI and human teacher.  He comments that he and his friends have not been successful using Apps alone to learn new languages. The then suggests that the Apps are made to make money, while a teacher teaches for the joy of seeing their students learn something new.  Learning has this essential social interaction that can’t be performed by an artificial intelligence. AI can be a useful tool in your language learning toolbox, but it isn’t sufficient.
