COMMENTARY | Diluted Creativity - The Only Truth That Lies
There have been great advancements and changes in the fields of literature, journalism, and science throughout the years, as the majority now rely on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to do the work for them. Little did they know, this act is the same as diluting the creativity they once had and used freely.

Even though some regard AI as an immoral way of using technology, almost half of today’s population is using AI to do just about anything—to write, draw, research. Not everyone believes so. Just like Adamson University’s registrar, who was recently caught using Artificial Intelligence in one of their emails, this proves that even a powerhouse of greater knowledge uses AI to escape the work.

In my opinion, AI is a tool merely used to assist us whenever we face difficulty in life. It provides us with ways to overcome and improve, however, I’m not saying that every time we face hurdles we should ask AI—that is far from what I’m trying to say in this article. We should always keep in mind that humans are the ones who created AI, so no one is responsible for this other than us, people who sometimes dare to do the impossible, but quite literally, try to replace humans.

If we can recall, GMA News created AI-generated sports news reporters named Maia and Marco to cover the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Season 99, as well as updates on local and international sports featuring Filipino athletes on the social media platforms of GMA IN, GMA Sports, and GMA Synergy. By doing so, GMA inadvertently suggests that AI could potentially replace more human roles in broadcasting and journalism, according to Varsitarian.

Apart from this, Campus Technology’s survey states that almost 86% of students use Artificial Intelligence in their studies, with 24% reporting daily use; 54% daily or weekly; and 54% at least on a weekly basis. It is quite disappointing that even in the field of education, on the few occasions when teachers ask them to write an essay, many still turn to AI to write it for them.
Though these advancements are quite helpful in inventing, creating, and writing by having deep knowledge in their database—giving them the ability to search thoroughly—people should not use AI to do the work entirely. AI was made to help us in our everyday lives, but it should not go beyond human ability and imagination.

As people continue to rely on Artificial Intelligence, they are slowly diluting the creativity they possess naturally. But one thing is for sure: nothing in this world should hinder human knowledge and handcrafts even by an inch. It is very crucial to know that humans can’t and will never be replaced by AI—that’s the only truth that, unfortunately, is slowly turning into a lie.
