n order to investigate the rising problem of overusing Artificial Intelligence or using ChatGPT as an aid for class outputs, the Orkid Synergy scribes conducted a survey regarding the use of AI in the school environment.

According to the survey, it was found that 52.94% of the students in the Grade VII Science, Technology, and Engineering class use AI platforms.

"When I use AI, I always make sure to use my own words in order to not depend on the AI model," said Leanne Cortado, a student of Class Orchid.

Elaize Gupong, a student from Class Iris, added that the use of these artificial models was only to acquire additional data, not to cheat on tests intended to assess students' learning capabilities.

“I highly recommend the STE class to use it [AI] to develop existing concepts—not to rely on it, but to build upon the concepts provided by the model,” Ms. JC May Fernandez stated.

Mrs. Analyn N. Arances, class advisor of Class Orchid, suggested that students should learn to regulate their use and dependence on gadgets, using AI as a helpful tool to build on their ideas, rather than allowing them to depend on it.

Additionally, she emphasized that activities should improve the reading and language skills of learners, which must be developed without AI dependence.

“In my opinion, the primary intent of using AI in learning should be to gain ideas directly on the spot, addressing the limited time given for these activities,” said Lloyd Mendoza.

As technology evolves in the education sector, the Department of Education is still seeking solutions to address this technological challenge.

rtificial Intelligence or AI has taken over the world with its revolutionising and immediate impact to students. AI is mostly used by STE (Science Technology and Engineering) students due to the increase in difficulty of the lessons which is about honing the mathematical and scientific skills of these students. But what is AI? Publish by Techtarget.com "Artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of technologies that enable computers to perform a variety of advanced functions, including the ability to see, understand and translate spoken and written language, analyze data, make recommendations, and more."

In my opinion AI is made to ease and atleast help relieve stress from students in the STE program which has 11 subjects rather than the regular 8 which gives out more homework and activities than the other classes. But what do the teachers in the program think about the students using AI? According to Ma'am JC May Fernandez a STE Adviser, "I highly recommend the STE class to use AI to develop existing concepts; not usually that they will entirely depend on it, but build upon the concept that was given by the model." So it seems that even the adviser of this class allows the use of AI as long as they dont depend or abuse it. So what do I think about the use of AI in the STE class?

In my opinion, I would agree of the use of AI because as a student of that particular program and class I can confidently say that the work given by the teachers are too much to handle by one's mind. I like the use of AI as from my experience it has help me pass my assignments in time, made it easier for me to understand difficult lessons, gave me more free time to spend to myself and etc. But I dont like it when the students abuse and become dependent to the AI as I think that it is unfair for other students that don't have access to it.

AI is a helpful tool that aims to reduce the workload of hardworking students. It is important for the future of our world as it helps ease a lot of our problems. With these advanced technology we can safely call our learning the Futuristic Education.
