Is humanity finished now?
Amidst overflowing expectations and anxieties, what are we missing?
Digging into the core of artificial intelligence to rediscover humanity.
A Special Future Class by Science Philosopher Kim Jae-in

In the face of artificial intelligence, will humans inevitably become smaller? Philosopher of science Kim Jae-in argues the opposite.
Kim Jae-in, who has established himself as a leading scholar in the study of artificial intelligence, expanding his research to the philosophy of science based on modern philosophy such as Nietzsche and Deleuze, says that the more he compares artificial intelligence with humans, the more his pride as a human grows.
"Humans Don't Frustrate Yet" is a book that contains sharp insights and research on the subject, written in an easy-to-read format that even teenagers can read.


This book covers the fundamentals of the rapidly emerging field of generative artificial intelligence.
It explains the principles of the super-large language model that forms the basis of generative artificial intelligence, and points out the characteristics and limitations of artificial intelligence that has only studied text.
This is followed by a series of compelling analyses, such as how robots differ from the human body, why artificial intelligence lacks discernment, and why artificial intelligence cannot make ethical judgments or artistic evaluations.
It starts with a basic explanation and goes straight to philosophical thinking.
Interestingly, the more we delve into artificial intelligence, the more we discover new human capabilities we never knew existed.


The exhortation at the end of the quest is quite touching.
Author Kim Jae-in explains that humanity has always been collectively creative, and repeatedly emphasizes that we are still practicing humanity through 'education'.
In the age of artificial intelligence, this book is particularly meaningful to young people who want to understand the necessity of studying, as well as to educators and citizens who ponder the meaning of education.

Zeus, the god of Greco-Roman mythology, and Hercules, the hero, do not actually exist in this world.
Pinocchio, whose nose grows longer when he lies, and the lovely Anne of Green Gables, both live only in literature and do not live in this real world.
But humans imagine and create it.
And verbalize it.
Then, a super-large language model would not distinguish between fact and fantasy, would not distinguish between encyclopedias and rumors, and would simply treat everything as equal data and learn from it.

Our relationship with artificial intelligence is almost one-sided.
If AI gets angry at me, we won't use it anymore.
So, artificial intelligence will continue to empathize with me and only try to seduce me.
That's not the right way to build a relationship.

Anyone who has ever coded knows that finding bugs is incredibly difficult.
If you make even one mistake, your computer won't work.
To find that one mistake, programmers struggle all night.
Even errors in artificial intelligence need to be found by humans.
Things will never improve without people helping them.
I can't move forward.
Artificial intelligence doesn't solve problems on its own like humans do, and it doesn't go through the process of thinking about it for days and then recovering from it.
It doesn't grow.

The moment a painter enters the history of art is not simply the moment he or she becomes good at painting, or the moment he or she becomes good at what already exists.
It was a moment of trying something new, something that had never been done before, something that no one had ever done before.
The moment a new standard is created, we marvel at it and evaluate that the artist has made a mark on art history, has opened up new horizons.
Finding out exactly that is the key to evaluation.
But artificial intelligence cannot show us these new standards, new horizons, and new perspectives.
It simply finds the most frequent ones that already exist, and those that meet the criteria set by humans.

Throughout human history, there have always been people who played the role of first movers.
In many fields, including politics, ideology, art, science, and technology, history was made by first movers who achieved something and the rest of the people embraced it.
The first judgment, the new judgment, is always the responsibility of humans.

I think of a MacGyver knife.
The MacGyver knife is a multipurpose tool.
It has a knife, saw, awl, screwdriver, and scissors.
It has many functions.
But who uses that sword? People use it.
Even if it can solve many problems, it is not the sword but people who solve them.
ChatGPTI still does not operate on its own as a control tower, that is, as a subject, with any goals and to solve problems.

One of the roles of people on Earth today is to preserve what geniuses have acquired and pass it on to the next generation.
When that kind of reproduction disappears, the geniuses responsible for production will ultimately be nothing.
So while we love, respect, and admire geniuses, we must not forget that the role of ordinary people who notice, share, and pass on the discoveries of geniuses is just as important.

Even in the age of artificial intelligence, humanity must all learn together.
Of course, the subjects taught in school are not all of the knowledge accumulated by mankind.
But it contains a significant portion of the core knowledge that has made humans human.
We are practicing humanity through studying itself.
We are the cornerstone of civilization.
If we are there, the rest will be there too.
Each and every one of us has a precious place.
