A.I Emulates My Style of Writings

 By Mortz C. Ortigoza

Yesterday, 10 PM was my deadline for our writers to submit all their columns and news articles to our newspaper. I still need one news to complete my quota of three news articles and one op-ed article for a week.

Since I was bereft of time, I wrote in English where I could do it fast instead of Tagalog where I have to pause and think about the right word in the vernacular. (example: Penetrating or obnoxious smells of the rotting garbage (nakakasulasok na amoy ng mga bulok na basura).

"Nakakasulasok", damn! That's the high fallutin of Tagalog -- which I considered myself as a poor writer but I considered knowing it as a silver bullet for my blog to reach 10 million views monthly because the growing English illiteracy of the Pinoy masa could not comprehend the American language but they could understand the medium of those tabloids' Abante, Pilipino Star Ngayon, and Toro.

One hour before 10 PM I started writing on my laptop my news with a title: Mangaldan Chalks Up P65-M from the Nat’l Gov’t (Abbreviations included there meant that I followed the rule that headline should be brief and concise).

The following morning, I put all the entire English news to the artificial intelligence (A.I) behemoth of Goggle called Gemini.

I told Gemini: Translate to Tagalog that news.

I was surprised to see Gemini -- that used to help me layout like a pro, hahaha, my illustrations and photos to buttress my blog 101 TALK RADIO -- can do a Mortz Ortigoza's style of Tagalog writing by using to "Ani Mayor" instead of "Sabi ni Mayor", "Diin ni Mayor" from the words "Stressed by the Mayor".

"Ani" and "Diin (not the prurient "diin, hahaha) are my style in Tagalog writing I saw since time immemorial in those screaming tabloids in the BakyaLand or MaletaLand.

WHAT IS GEMINI?

Gemini AI is Google's most advanced family of multimodal AI models and conversational chatbots (formerly Bard), designed to understand and generate text, images, audio, video, and code. It operates across various apps and services to boost productivity, summarize content, and automate tasks. Synonyms or related terms include Google generative AI, LLM, chatbot, and AI assistant (A.I Overview).

My son Nico, a Philippines based creative designer on video and poster subcontractor for some United States corporations (the giant Converge ICT Solutions Inc. in the Philippines is his client, too told me: Pa' try mo kausapin si Chat GPT, and asked anything about what you want:

ME: Hey Chat, can you please play the jazzy song "Just the Two of Us by Bill Wither but in the voice of Datu Mortz Ortigoza?

CHAT GPT: I can’t reproduce the actual lyrics or melody of that song since it's copyrighted, but I can definitely create an original piece inspired by the vibe—like a smooth, intimate mood. What kind of theme or feel are you thinking for this original song?

ME: Hey Chat, kayo mo mag Tagalog? (and Chat GPT answered me in a fluent Tagalog, susmariosep!)

CHAT: Oo naman! Kaya kitang kausapin sa Tagalog. E-adjust ko na yung tono at istilo para mas bagay sa'yo.

Gall dang!

What did I tell Nico about the scientific feat of A.I that is making raves and waves in the other parts of the world but has a poor dent in the PinoyLand?

ME: T*ng Ina, dahil dito sa Chat GPT, A.I , Dola, others mamatay na ang $40 billion o P2.4 Trillion (2025 figure) Philippine Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) industry kasama na diyan ang mga taga call centers sa Pinas.

What say you dear reader to my post here?
