Reply to comment by Veleric in Will AI's make language learning useless? by IntroVertu

Don't know him but he is 94 years old. I should make it out alive.

Can you explain why ?

He's one of the world's most renowned persons regarding linguistics. He's also expressed strong negative opinions on AI in general. It was just a lighthearted joke, but worth looking into. He's done a video interviews/panels on AI recently. I think he's mistaken in many regards on this topic, but still interesting to hear his viewpoints.

I saw the video and I think he was never too interested in AI because his speech is confused. But at the same time he's 94 years old, it's kind of normal.

I think you should go read some of his books. You might learn something.
