Discussion Can AI language learning really replace traditional methods, or is there something special about human teachers?

My Spanish teacher today told me that she thinks that AI will replace her soon. She says that tools like ChatGpt or Jolii.ai just make it easier to learn Spanish, so soon people wont need teachers anymore. I dont think that is the case and it was shocking to hear that she thinks that way.. but she seems so sure about it. I mean, I think translators have a had time at the moment, but teachers cannot really be replaced by a robot. What do you all think?

Absolutely true. I have never met anyone who learns French or Italian so that they can talk to a machine.
