My favorite interaction in all this so far (long story short, I spent time on an email to Duolingo and of course get an AI response 🤡)

Email explaining why I quit Super Duolingo (AI-first policy)

Kit Anderson @igotkittypryde.bsky.social · Jul 16

Finally off Spotify (CEO's 600 mil. to AI military tech & AI push), Duolingo (AI-first policy), Adobe (pricing/monopolistic practices & AI), working on other big tech (privacy/monopolistic practices & AI). I know it's probably futile but maybe if lots of us stop giving them our money and info...?

Haha, most of the time! But I wish I had explained to her that I do take it kinda seriously actually 🤡

Kit Anderson @igotkittypryde.bsky.social · Jul 15

A family member, after informing me they did not understand my comics, followed up with "but you're having fun making them, right? That's what's most important." 💀💀💀
