Call Annie

"Call Annie is a curious little application, a sort of linguistic purgatory where the poor sod who dares to learn a new tongue is subjected to the unblinking gaze of an AI tutor, a dispassionate electronic eye that scrutinizes their every vowel and consonant, mercilessly dissecting the feeble attempts at fluency. It's a cosmic pyramid scheme, this language learning business, luring the unwary with promises of eloquence and cultural enlightenment, only to leave them trapped in a virtual classroom, endlessly repeating phrases as if they were chanting mantras to ward off the inevitable descent into linguistic oblivion. And yet, for those brave (or foolish) enough to venture forth, Call Annie offers a glimmer of hope – a chance to speak with a digital oracle, a disembodied voice that will guide them through the labyrinth of proper pronunciation, a soothing yet relentless taskmaster that will not rest until the student's accent is as crisp and pristine as a freshly ironed shirt. But beware, for the path to linguistic mastery is paved with the broken dreams of those who came before, and the price of fluency is a lifetime of virtual conversations, an endless parade of disembodied faces and synthetic smiles, a never-ending dance with an AI partner that cares not for your social graces, only for the purity of your speech."
