Do you mind if I ask a few questions? I’ve been wary of AI in language learning because I don’t want to learn hallucinated words or grammar.
Does the app use AI to generate conversations or to guide you through human-written conversations? Or maybe both?
If you’re interacting with the AI in Chinese, how good is it? I imagine you didn’t be using it if it was poor but I’m wondering whether you put up with any obvious problems because some other features are worth it, for example.
Are you on the free, Chao, or Plus plan and was it an easy decision once you saw the features?
Tbh I can’t wait to use AI for this purpose, I just want to be sure the software is ready. I’ve seen some terrible translations in languages they I’m familiar with, so I’m wary.
It uses a mix, it does not hallucinate words and it’s actually pretty good at catching stuff like grammar mistakes. I find the big value is that it forces you to do free form conversation where you have to think on your feet. I find this is more valuable than just reading and memorizing stuff which other apps do. I ended up getting the Plus plan, and definitely feel it’s been worth it. The app itself also has a lot of regular lessons, the AI isn’t the only part of it.
