THERE IS ABSOLUTELY no way to turn back the clock, but if one would dare ask ChatGPT, the corruption scandal that the Philippines is facing would have somehow been addressed had the electorate picked the best person to run the country.
For one, ChatGPT doesn’t have any emotion like humans do. Surprisingly though, the artificial intelligence-induced chat bot came up with the best person fit for the position of Philippine President.
According to ChatGPT, neither incumbent president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. nor Vice President Sara Duterte would be able to effectively steer good governance.
ChatGPT’s choice — former Vice President Leni Robredo.
WHAT IS CHATGPT?
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that uses natural language processing to create human-like conversational dialogue. The language model can respond to questions and compose various written content, including articles, social media posts, essays, code and emails.
It’s a form of generative AI — a tool that lets users enter prompts to receive humanlike images, text or videos that are created by AI.
ChatGPT is similar to the automated chat services found on customer service websites, as people can ask it questions or request clarification to ChatGPT’s replies.
The GPT stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer,” which refers to how ChatGPT processes requests and formulates responses. It is “trained” with reinforcement learning through human feedback and reward models that rank the best responses. Generated feedback helps augment ChatGPT with machine learning to improve future responses.
CHATGPT FOR PRESIDENT
On September 26, comedian Leland Lim posted a video on Facebook where he asked ChatGPT, “Who would you vote for as president of the Philippines? Bongbong Marcos, Sara Duterte, or Leni Robredo?”
ChatGPT picked Robredo, saying, “I would lean toward Leni Robredo because she aligns more with the values of accountability, human rights, and service.”
“Huwag niyo sabihing pinklawan si ChatGPT, okay? Wag niyo rin sabihin o tanungin magkano binayad ko kay ChatGPT para sabihin niya yun,” said Lim.
“So kung di natin kayang mag-decide as a nation kung sino ang dapat iboto sa President, Vice President, Senators, ipaubaya na lang natin sa AI lahat para fair, diba? Para walang biases, walang opinions, just facts. ChatGPT for president,” he added.
BOT’S FIRM CHOICE
Coming from a comedian, the video should be taken as political commentary spoken in jest.
But there is no harm in humoring what he said.
I opened my ChatGPT and entered the same question. True enough, it picked Leni Robredo.
