Simply put, Filipinos are literate enough to discuss and represent very Pinoy, yet obsolete things like bahay kubos, jeepneys, and tricycles, but not compete on the modern international stage with real ideas.
I will admit that I wasn't inquisitive enough during my student years. I just believed everything taught to me in school like: Agapito Flores was the one who invented the fluorescent lamp and that Ninoy Aquino was a hero. It is such a shame that I had no real ambition to excel back then.
Fast forward into 2025, Filipino's ambitions nowadays focus primarily on their TikTok popularity and a trip to South Korea. *Sigh* I guess things haven't really changed for the common simpleton.
Let's go back to discussing the topic mentioned in the article above. Does this mean that AI can write better than most humans? Yes. This is because it keeps learning. While we humans stop as soon as we have enough to get by. You would argue that we finally have the technology to do mundane things for us, why not utilize it?
I believe that improvements in technology should be used as stepping stones for further enhancements, --not make us stagnant fools.
Do you remember the time that we had to write Reaction/Reflection Papers in school? Most people just stuck with writing about how they felt and did not write anything that would address the problem & its implications and feasible tactical prevention/solutions. You just had to jam in enough words to reach the word count quota.
Given a stimulus, our heads will bobble back and forth --just enough to produce a response, but with no real substance.
