MANILA, Philippines – At the 2024 International Media Conference, much of the discussion revolved around generative artificial intelligence. But the tone of discussion has changed greatly from the conversations a year ago. One of the quotable quotes from the first day of the conference was a statement from the Filipino journalist Jaemark Tordecilla: “The more you use AI, the more you realize how stupid it is.”
Isn’t AI supposed to be smart? What is AI, and what is it really for anyway?
