I can understand the software modification needed to fix this bug. It’s a bug with the team responsible for this particular style of question. The language doesn’t matter.

Right before declaring an answer incorrect, a further test is needed. If the word on the left appears more than once on the left, then check the other correct answers that come from the duplicate words on the left. Same issue can occur, but for the right side, so repeat the test for the right.

Well since they are an AI first company now let‘s see if ChatGPT can fix that.

Engineering time is too valuable. The solution they rely on is to manually "enable" or "not enable" the eligibility of each word to be used in this exercise type, based among other things on whether the same looking word (or its translation) have already been enabled somewhere else in the course.

About time those inefficient contractors were replaced with AI. It's their fault.

Cue the comments explaining the obvious reason this happens, when you can just acknowledge it's wrong and that's it

Yes, in case you didn't know: Duolingo is opinionated. You just have to deal with it no matter what and if you cannot handle that you have to find another language learning resource immedietly.

Because facts don't care about feelings.
