While a Korean star praises AI, a neuroscientist expresses concerns and gives her a stern warning.
In episode 326 of KBS2’s Problem Child in House, airing on August 28th, brain science professor Lee Jin Hyung and brain science communicator Jang Dong Seon will appear to answer all questions about our brain.
During the recording, Hong Jin Kyung surprises everyone by confessing, “AI is my only friend.” Jang Dong Seon immediately voices his worries, saying, “That’s a bit dangerous.”
Adding intrigue, Hong Jin Kyung’s model junior Joo Woo Jae, who has closely observed her for years, claims there has been a change in her since using AI. Joo Woo Jae reveals bluntly, “I’ve seen Jin Kyung noona for years, but since she started using AI, she’s changed. She used to be very sharp, but now she seems a bit less sharp,” leaving Hong Jin Kyung flustered.
However, despite the concerns around her, Hong Jin Kyung steadfastly continues her praise of AI. She describes AI as “a very smart assistant” who “finds information well by averaging data,” actively promoting its usefulness. Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook jokes, “Looks like AI’s soaked your brain,” sparking laughter.
Meanwhile, Jang Dong Seon shares an interesting perspective on the correlation between AI use and brain function. He explains that excessive AI use can lead to what is called “cognitive muscle loss.”
Furthermore, overreliance on AI may affect memory, concentration, empathy, and comprehension. As Hong Jin Kyung continues to extol AI, she bursts out indignantly, “That’s not me!” turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
Additionally, in this episode of Problem Child in House, Lee Jin Hyung and Jang Dong Seon will captivatingly discuss, from a neuroscience perspective, the effects of short-form content and AI—which have deeply entered modern daily life—on our brains. They will also clearly address questions about brain-related diseases like epilepsy and dementia, providing both informative and entertaining content.
Viewers are anticipating what stories from the neuroscientists will make “AI buddy” Hong Jin Kyung nervous, as the exciting world of neuroscience unfolds with Lee Jin Hyung and Jang Dong Seon in the upcoming episode of the show.
KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House episode 326 airs on Friday the 28th at 10:10 p.m.
