alt Hacker NewsI've been exploring the "AI as conversation partner for immersion" use case for a project I'm building and find it pretty helpful for a few reasons
1. Effectively infinite engaging comprehensible input at your level 2. Fantastic way to practice new vocabulary and grammar patterns (AI can provide correction for mistakes) 3. Somewhat fun - if you view chat as a choose your own adventure, the experience becomes more interesting
I just opened chatGPT's voice mode and mocked the worse accented english I could muster asking for tips on pronunciation.
chatGPT just told me that my pronunciation was perfect over an over. It's transcribing audio into text and has no sense for details needed to improve conversational skills.
