In this video, I’m putting the big four—ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude—to the test to see which one actually helps you acquire a language and which one is just a glorified autocomplete. As a PhD linguist, I’m breaking down the morphosyntax, the feedback loops, and the hallucination rates of these models. Whether you’re a self-study polyglot or just trying to pass your intro classes, here is the objective truth about AI for language learning in 2026.
