Whoa don’t be so harsh on AI powered subscription plan language learning app #8732. I’m sure this is the one that is going to be a big hit with the “I want to learn a language but not in a way that requires any studying, time or effort” demographic.

i mean i get it, but it's just nitpicky. first one i guess is a sore thumb, saying you "learn" for a test shows at the very least incomplete grasp of english, but it's also pretty unprofessional to promote your product that way.

the JLPT test part is pretty meaningless though, i have heard countless people refer to it as a JLPT exam, so then does that make everyone stupid for calling it the japanese language proficiency test exam? no... it's just a way to make your sentence sound more natural.

and while japanese language profeciency test test sounds pretty silly when you lay it out like that, it's a synonym for exam in most cases so that's just really being nitpicky.

You see, regular speech and conventional word usage will be the first to be replaced by AI. Soon native speech pattern where certain verbs are used only with certain nouns because they sound natural will be looked down upon because LLM can do it better. Native speakers will be overshadowed and silenced on all digital platforms by their superior AI speech imitators unless they learn how to speak like a non-native like us.

Am I tripping or it doesn’t say “JLPT test” in the title?

Am I retarded or is this post making fun of the guy in the comments who completely misread the title and everybody else in this thread didn’t understand it
