Abstract

The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT presents an ontological and ethical disruption to writing in education. As machines increasingly produce human-like texts, the meaning of authorship, originality, and the learner’s presence in their own writing comes into question. This concept paper explores the implications of AI-mediated writing through the dual philosophical lenses of Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt. Heidegger’s concept of enframing reveals how AI transforms writing into an efficient, optimized output, severing it from its poietic and disclosive potential. Arendt’s theory of action elaborates the risk of writing devolving into mere labor, stripping students of the opportunity to appear, speak, and act meaningfully in the world. A rehumanised pedagogy is proposed—one that reclaims writing as an act of becoming, relational presence, and political appearance. In this framework, AI is repositioned not as a surrogate author, but as a reflective tool within the learner’s dialogic and developmental space.

Abstract

With the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in academic settings, this research aims to determine how AI usage influences students' reading comprehension skills. This quantitative study investigates the relationship between reading comprehension and AI dependency among pre-service English Teachers at Central Bicol State University of Agriculture. The study found that first-year students had below-average reading comprehension. In contrast, second-year to fourth-year students demonstrated average comprehension, indicating improvement over time but with room for growth. It revealed moderate AI dependency across all year levels, with third-year students showing the highest reliance on AI for academic purposes. A weak positive correlation between reading comprehension and AI dependency was observed, though not statistically significant, suggesting that AI use alone does not directly affect reading comprehension. The results imply that effective reading comprehension skills does not depend on AI usage, and the importance of critical thinking methods should be emphasized.
