Comment by Brian Bantugan
Researcher at St. Paul University Manila writing on AI labor, ethics, and intelligence.
AI systems, by contrast, do not understand meaning. They detect statistical regularities in large datasets and generate outputs that approximate meaningful responses without comprehension. AI does not know what something is or why it matters; it predicts what is most likely to come next. Intelligence requires understanding, whereas AI performs correlation.AI Verified (Jan 2026)
