'Gourmet Heo Yeong-man's dining table journey' Song Gil-young analyzed that 2026 will be the year when AI fully gets under way.
On the 28th broadcast, TV CHOSUN 'Gourmet Heo Yeong-man's dining table journey' (hereinafter 'dining table journey') featured big data expert Song Gil-young, who joined Heo Yeong-man for a food trip in Paju.
At the first restaurant of the day, longtime regular Heo Yeong-man said, "This is a friend who even appeared in my 'Gourmet' comic back in the day," and greeted the restaurant owner warmly.
When faced with the kiosk, Song Gil-young asked Heo Yeong-man, "Do you use the kiosk?" Heo Yeong-man replied, "I stay still. Most are younger, so they handle it smoothly for me."
When Song Gil-young easily placed the order, Heo Yeong-man asked, "How do you ask for water?" Song Gil-young demonstrated how to order, saying, "You just touch 'water.'"
Meanwhile, Heo Yeong-man asked about the occupation of a 'big data expert.' Song Gil-young explained, "I've been doing this for a long time. At first, my job was to collect people's posts and photos and look for patterns in them. It's called data mining, data miner."
He added, "When smartphones came out, people started taking pictures and leaving posts, and everyone began doing that. Then the information increased, and it came to be called big data. That was around 2010."
Song Gil-young said about AI, "What we've worried about and looked at most this year is the accelerating automation and intelligence. AI systems' IQs were under 100 last year, but now they're approaching 140. Everyone is getting smarter."
Heo Yeong-man asked, "To what extent will it affect individuals, workplaces and society?" Song Gil-young replied, "We will hand over the (simple) tasks to machines and declare that we will deepen human work to do more profound tasks. Humans will do more abstract work."
Meanwhile, Song Gil-young, seeing Heo Yeong-man's interest in AI, said, "If you ask AI, it gives you an answer right away. I'll show you," and demonstrated on his phone by asking AI, "What's the name of the blowfish restaurant in the 'dining table journey' Changwon episode?"
But when AI provided incorrect information, a flustered Song Gil-young said, "This is not it. I'll try again," and made a second attempt. Heo Yeong-man burst into laughter at his flustered, stammering questioning and asked, "How did you know it wasn't the answer?"
Song Gil-young said, "I know because it's different from what I found yesterday," adding, "(AI) also lies. There's nothing you can do. It's not an error but a function. So more thinking and deliberation are needed. It's getting smarter, so it's learning to speak more precisely than before. The frequency dropped to one in a hundred. At first it lied more."
Meanwhile, Heo Yeong-man asked, "What do you think will be next year's first big topic?" Song Gil-young answered, "Next year is AI. Clearly," saying it will be the year AI gets under way.
When asked, "How should we respond?" he analyzed, "Those who already have their own work should think about how to do that work well together with AI. Also, rather than using that time entirely for rest, think about how to bring more depth to production."
