Tinanong namin si Gemini ano ang tipikal na kulay na may kinalaman sa AI. Bughaw at abo ang sagot. At least, ginamitan namin ng AI ang aming pubmat. :)

Sa kabila ng nakagigitlang gamit ng AI, kailangang maging mapamaraan at mapanuri. Sadyang di namin pinaayos sa AI ang sagisag ng Unang Repubika ng Pilipinas upang salaminin ang nagpapatuloy nating pagtuklas sa nakaraan at sa saysay nito sa kasalukuyan, may AI man o wala.

Kung bakit may p**a sa aming pubmat, para makita ninyo agad na ikalendaryo na ninyo ang Philippine Historical Association Annual Conference sa Setyembre 2026. Mag-abang lamang sa update para sa aktuwal na petsa at pook na pagsasagawaan sa kumperensiya, lalo na ang call for papers.

Kitakits!
