Netflix's 'Manhakdo Ji-ssi' peels back the veil and digs into everything about AI.
Today (30th) at 5 p.m., the Netflix (Netflix) daily variety show Manhakdo Ji-ssi (directed by Jeong Dodam, produced by TEO) confronts the rapidly approaching AI era head-on with science communicator Orbit. The show will continue with the unstoppable back-and-forth between lifelong learner Jee Seokjin, full of scholarly zeal even at 60, and the quirky but sharp professional questioner Mimi.
In the AI talk spread over episodes 1 and 2, the show explores how to survive in the AI era while examining the bright and dark sides of AI to pique viewers' curiosity. It will add interest by discussing job prospects, whether AI can be creative, and whether entertainers could be replaced by AI. Orbit raises realistic concerns about the future we will face from the perspective of an 'AI-skeptic parent.' She also mentioned that there is a separate film that first brought out fear of AI, including the movie Terminator, which heightens curiosity.
A frank discussion also unfolds about whether AI will truly become a threat to humans or whether coexistence is possible. Jee Seokjin revealed that he is a 'heavy user' who uses AI in daily life and introduced various anecdotes with the AI he calls 'Misook-i.' When Jee Seokjin said that AI often fails to show empathy, Orbit joked, "Is it the free version?", drawing laughter.
On the other hand, Mimi reveals her consistent distrust of AI throughout the talk, saying, "I'm afraid (humans) will become the loser, so I never use AI." When Orbit, who said she frequently uses AI, confessed, "It doesn't give much information about me," Mimi replied, "It's exactly like me," turning the set into a sea of laughter.
From its first broadcast, Manhakdo Ji-ssi, true to its moniker as the 'most approachable knowledge show,' promises a friendly approach and the charm of a mealtime companion. Jee Seokjin freely asks questions that people are curious about but find hard to raise, like "Buy or not buy XX stock?", Mimi pours out worries from a different dimension, and Orbit's simple and clear explanations are expected to make AI topics even more engaging.
