I saw this post from a professor na sobrang galit kasi halos buong klase daw niya gumamit ng AI para sa written output nila. Then may nag-comment pa na:
“Kung sino nagvideo nito? For sure estudyante ‘to. Pero kung akala mo aawayin namin si prof kasi sinesermunan kayo, nope. Dapat lang siyang magalit. Hindi na biro magturo ngayon. May mga estudyanteng ayaw mapagod, gusto lang may grade, tapos masama pa ang loob pag nasasabihan. Kawawa na ang mga teacher. Dapat nga magpasalamat kayo kasi gumagawa pa siya ng manual o materials para sa inyo. Hindi lahat dapat galing lang sa internet o AI. Iba pa rin pag ikaw mismo ang nag-iisip kasi dun nade-develop ang utak mo.”
And honestly, I totally agree.
You know what, it takes us teachers hours, minsan days, to plan lessons, make activities, and think of ways to make learning meaningful. Recorded man ‘yan o face-to-face, effort pa rin ‘yun. Pero in just a snap, may mga estudyante na gagamit ng AI para lang matapos ang task, without even applying what they learned.
Masakit ‘yun, honestly.
I’ve been in that professor’s shoes before. I once asked my students to write a reflection paper about how they made a certain project (di ko na sasabihin kung ano). The questions I gave were personal, something that only they could answer. Pero nung binasa ko na, halos lahat pareho ang structure. Hindi tunog sila.
So I used an AI detector app, and guess what?
Most of their submissions were AI-generated. 😔
Para sa mga Students, please remember these:
- Your teachers, lalo na mga language teachers, can easily tell if your work is AI-generated. Kita ‘yan sa structure, tone, at depth ng sulat ninyo.
-Obvious din minsan, lalo na kung sa class recitation hirap kayo magpahayag pero sa paper parang si Shakespeare magsulat. Teachers weren’t born yesterday.
-Be honest. Kung gumamit ka ng grammar checker o paraphrasing tool, sabihin mo lang. Maiintindihan naman ng teachers. Honesty goes a long way.
-Pag ikaw mismo ang nagsusulat, mas na-aactivate ang utak mo. The more you think and write on your own, the better your brain performs next time.

-Writing independently improves your communication skills. Natututo kang magpahayag nang malinaw, nang may boses, at nang may tiwala sa sarili, hindi lang umaasa sa AI.
-At higit sa lahat, kawawa ka kapag nag-apply ka ng entrance examination sa mga dream colleges and universities mo o nag-apply ng trabaho sa gusto mong companies.
Remember, real time ang pagsusulat at madalas ay may essay requirement. Paano kung nasanay kang umasa sa AI? Hindi mo pwedeng buksan ang ChatGPT o kung anong app sa gitna ng exam. Kaya habang maaga pa, sanayin mong gamitin ang utak mo at ang sariling boses mo sa pagsusulat.
Writing is not punishment. It’s practice for real life.
Para naman sa mga Teachers:
Maybe we can also adjust our strategies a bit to cope with this AI era:
-Stick to traditional practices. Give immediate and corrective feedback. Yung actual human interaction pa rin ang pinaka-effective.
-Sit with your students one-on-one. Oo, tasky siya pero super helpful. Kapag nakita nila na you care enough to guide them personally, mas nagiging motivated silang mag-improve.
-Let them experience the rigor of writing. Start from brainstorming, drafting, revising, hanggang final output. The process itself teaches discipline and growth.
To my fellow teachers: Do not lose hope. Technology is evolving, but our mission stays the same, to teach our students how to think, not just how to comply.
To my dear students: I know AI makes life easier. Pero tandaan, convenience is not always growth.
Kapag ikaw mismo ang nagsulat, kahit may grammar lapses o awkward phrasing pa ‘yan, at least tunay. That’s your voice. That’s your effort. That’s something no AI can ever imitate.
Let’s use AI as a tool, not as a shortcut.
Because real learning should never be artificial.
