DepEd Textbook is AI

[u/Wintersvalk]

[u/Administrative_Pin_4]

They didn't even remove the watermark 💀

[u/norwegian → u/Administrative_Pin_4]

This?

[u/fishZ_7 → u/norwegian]

yes

[u/nonmagnon → u/norwegian]

Is the content factually correct and accurate and timely

[u/connorshonors → u/Administrative_Pin_4]

baka para iwas plagiarism

[u/papersandclips → u/connorshonors]

plagiarism in AI?

[u/Individual_Apple25]

oh my god.. AI SLOP na nga sa essays at assignments na mga bata, pati ba naman sa babasahin..

grabe, I miss Elem textbooks!!!

[u/bripnamaasim → u/Individual_Apple25]

binabasa ko agad mga kwento jan sa filipino at english pagkakuha haha kamiss

[u/zeussalvo → u/bripnamaasim]

Samin laging 1:2 so either sayo yung language/wika or reading/pagbasa. I always look forward na mapunta sakin yung huli.

[u/MidnightBlue8000 → u/Individual_Apple25]

Yeah the old ones are actually better than the shi OP posted. Grew up using these textbooks

[u/Ela_Xo → u/Individual_Apple25]

Favorite ko yan English for all times na yan

[u/theSilent-sama → u/Individual_Apple25]

yung mamimili mga teacher ng lalaki na magbubuhat nito na naka-sako AHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

[u/Individual_Apple25 → u/theSilent-sama]

hahahaha mukhang nabunot ka magbuhat ah lol

[u/Financial_Crow6938 → u/Individual_Apple25]

yung section 1 complete ang book tapos pag section 9 ka na. hiraman na lang ng book. yung iba incomplete pa.

[u/ImaginationBetter373]

Lala naman. Tapos yung mga Authors niyan is Master/Doctorate Degree. 🫩

[u/terradski → u/ImaginationBetter373]

na galing sa diploma mills

[u/tutti_patutti_00]

Well cinut nila budget at basura na din paghawak ng mga tagaDEPED sa nga students. Gusto talaga nila maging bobo mga tao para maging bobo din sa pagkilatis ng susunod na iboboto kasi ayaw nila maging threat ang mga may alam

[u/Alabangerzz_050]

We pay large taxes yet they use free version ng Gemini lol

[u/asimoxgago]

The 4th picture is definitely an AI and also cover

[u/connorshonors → u/asimoxgago]

all of the pics are. halata.

[u/fishZ_7 → u/asimoxgago]

second one literally has the gemini watermark

[u/JelloStriking8384]

paldo mga authors nyan, easy money eh

[u/shoukolala]

The Gemini watermark 😭 they didn't even try to hide it

[u/PlusComplex8413]

Di pa rin nagbabago quality ng libro natin no? Colored yung cover pero B&W yung contents. Dami pang nasayang na space dahil ang lalaki ng pictures, kulang ang text. Bat kaya hindi nila gayahin ibang bansa. I mean college level textbooks have pictures, colors, and formats it to have more information.

[u/MidnightBlue8000]

Ngl thia book is just plain bad. Looks low effort

[u/highandlow_meepmeep]

The pictures are AI, but the drawings seem generic since black and white

[u/joooh → u/highandlow_meepmeep]

Yung 3rd photo siguro hindi pero yung 4th bukod sa biglang iba yung artstyle eh dapat panunumpa ginawa nila pero naka-hawak pa sa dibdib. Pinagsabay po ang Lupang Hinirang at Panatang Makabayan.

[u/MrScaleEye]

Nakakadismayang makita ito.

[u/gagowhahaha]

marami naman tayong book illustrators pero ai pa rin ginamit nila. Shame on you DepEd

[u/Montreal_resident_19]

Ganito na pala ka-cheap ang mga libro ngayon sa paaralan? Nagdowngrade malala. Parang na-bookbind lang.

[u/itoangtama]

kita ko yung logo ng gemini sa kagubatan at kalsada sa lungsod, pero i won't worry much about it. Ang mas mahalaga ay yun text. is it effective in teaching values education?

[u/joooh → u/itoangtama]

Kung libro lang ang basehan siguro hindi. Sa mga bata mukhang "chore" lang na basahin at sagutan yung libro. Tapos depende din sa teacher at magulang. Tignan mo din ang socmed ng mga teacher at makikita mo na karamihan sa kanila eh closeted supporter ng karton.

[u/kathangitangi]

ang lala

[u/00hardasarock00]

Obvious na AI

[u/ZeroSick]

AI lahat

[u/pierreditguy]

our brains are shrinking

[u/Buchilei]

omg, sa 2nd pic kitang kita watermark jusko

[u/MinervaLlorn]

Hindi consistent yung art style

[u/mezuki92]

AI na mga pubmat, textbook, presentation, certificates at iba pa. Pucha di ako magtataka kung pati lesson plans ng mga guro AI na din haha

[u/OpenYonQ_]

paldo pa yang mga yan dahil sa book royalties (or maybe wala dahil deped textbook to). but still..

[u/no-lead5761]

Hindi na ko nagulat dito. Wored creative freelance for deped before, sobrang pahirapan sila bayaran mga contractors nila, wala na nga sila resibo, kakaltasan pa yung bayad tapos aabutin pa ng 6 months para lang mabayaran ka. Sobraaaaang corrupt pucha

[u/undermaster__]

Education is meant to celebrate the creativity of scholars, yet they rely on AI? There is so much more value if they had just used stock images online, paid for them (remember we are paying with tax money), used public domain images, or hired a graphic designer from the academe; our talent is being wasted.

[u/Ill-Ruin2198]

Yung 3rd image, parang hindi AI. Kasi ganyan na yung art style nung ibang books dati

[u/Zenon04 → u/Ill-Ruin2198]

There is gemini logo on the bottom right corner

[u/Ill-Ruin2198 → u/Zenon04]

3rd image/slide, walang Gemini logo

[u/Zenon04 → u/Ill-Ruin2198]

Oh I was not paying attention, I am very sorry. It was the second slide with the 4 pictures. Yeah my bad, I sometimes have this thing where I keep messing things up.

[u/PreventionPreventer → u/Zenon04]

Yo, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[u/stuckwithreddit → u/Ill-Ruin2198]

That's 100% made by AI. Super generic yung mukha and magkakapareha lang yung mga mukha nila : a very common AI pattern.

[u/norwegian]

Is it true that protecting the environment starts at home? Isn't it in the mayor's office where they can vote for proper garbage disposal? Vote for not using toxins to extract minerals from the mountain, not to dump toxic waste in the rivers and sea?

[u/9specter528]

Again, wag na tayong magtaka kung bigla na lang tayong magkaroon ng Yolanda sa Enero dahil sa mga kagaguhang tulad nito.

[u/Garlic-Rough]

What about the actual content?

[u/Knightly123]

May sariling QA ang mga publishing house for the images used and the written content. Feeling ko hinabol nalang yung mga images or nagcut sila ng budget for layout artists/ graphic artists

[u/ArmaninyowPH]

I'm more annoyed na hindi consistent yung klase ng images na ginamit. Yung isa mukhang simpleng drawing lang, while yung isa mukhang anime.

[u/1l3v4k4m]

dystopian

[u/mezuki92]

r/boringdystopia

[u/SnowFlakes360]

magkano budget tapos libre ginagamit na ai :D

[u/Craftsman1294]

One reason why I left publishing. AI na ngayon mga assets sa books para mabilis maka develop ng title/book. Kahit ayaw ng artist, no choice eh. Haist.

[u/kakkoimonogatari]

yung mga authors niyan may mga PHD pa

hahahaha

[u/KuronixFirhyx]

Hindi ko talaga ma-gets kung bakit hindi na lang revision ng mga old textbook ang gamitin. Kailangan ba bago parati? O may kickback na naman.

[u/SpicyGingerSnaps71]

Wala nang makuhang litrato ng kagubatan? Paano, mga nakalabo na at naging mga subdivision na.

[u/Sad_Kaleidoscope2847]

this is so sad :[

[u/paulrenzo]

Tis what happens when deped goes solely for the lowest bidder. Will not be surprised if the actual content of the textbook is AI generated too.

[u/ZYCQ]

I feel sad for kids going through education here. This is exposed in different school books every other.month. many of those ai books have much deeper issues in content. i wonder if there has ever been consequences to the authors or the people sourcing the books.

[u/CaterpillarAny1043]

i'll miss the unique style of art while reading these sort of books at school. I always wondered about the human artist behind these depictions, now they ruin it too with soulless slop

[u/SkyGuyDnD]

I visited a bookstore in SM this week. 80% of all covers were AI...

[u/kid-dynamo-]

I kind of push back sa knee-jerk reaction na basta AI, slop na agad and dismissed as a sign of poor quality.

I mean, the books were intended to be instructional, if the books are factually (and grammatically) correct and fullfill their function as they were intended, wouldn't it really matter if some AI was partially used to make them?

AI was originally designed to assist in increasing productivity and enhancing output in the first place, diba?

Nagkaron lang naman negative connotation dahil sa excessive (mis)use of lazy people (mostly content creators) to mass produce poor quality content trying to pass it off as wholly original work of art or entertainment.

[u/Yan-gi]

I have no issue with using AI for caricatures if the art style was trained without stealing from an artist.

But for actual content and "photographic" references? Foul.

[u/Shoddy_Diver_4077]

Parang hindi? Ganyan naman na dati pa mga picture/drawing sa textbooks.

[u/SS-Hunt → u/Shoddy_Diver_4077]

Sa second pic, may logo ng Gemini sa bottom right

[u/eromynAwonKtnoDI]

ano naman?

[u/Vex_Out_0032 → u/eromynAwonKtnoDI]

basically a reflection that the department that oversees the education of the filipinos is not doing their jobs properly.
