   C 엄마, 아까 스피커가 내 숙제 답을 다 알려 줬어. 스피커 안에 누가 살아?

   Eomma, akka seupikeoga nae sukje dabeul da allyeo jwosseo. Seupikeo ane nuga sara?

   Mom, the speaker told me all the answers to my homework earlier. Does someone live inside the speaker?

   Line 1

   A 아니, 안에 사람은 없어. 그게 요즘 다들 말하는 AI야.

   Ani, ane sarameun eopseo. Geuge yojeum dadeul malhaneun AIya.

   No, there's no one inside. That's the AI everyone talks about these days.

   Line 2
3. 3

   C AI가 뭔데? 로봇이야?

   AIga mwonde? Robosiya?

   What's AI? Is it a robot?

   Line 3
4. 4

   A AI란 컴퓨터가 스스로 배우는 거야. 사람처럼 생각하는 컴퓨터라고 보면 돼.

   AIran keompyuteoga seuseuro baeuneun geoya. Saramcheoreom saenggakaneun keompyuteorago bomyeon dwae.

   AI is a computer that learns by itself. Think of it as a computer that thinks like a person.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 음, 엄마 말도 맞는데 아빠 생각은 좀 달라. AI는 진짜로 생각하는 게 아니라 흉내를 내는 거야.

   Eum, eomma maldo manneunde appa saenggageun jom dalla. AIneun jinjjaro saenggakaneun ge anira hyungnaereul naeneun geoya.

   Well, Mom's right, but I see it a bit differently. AI doesn't really think; it copies.

   Line 5
6. 6

   C 흉내? 앵무새처럼?

   Hyungnae? Aengmusaecheoreom?

   Copies? Like a parrot?

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 비슷해. 뉴스에서는 '많은 글을 학습함으로써 다음 말을 예측한다'고 하더라. 글을 엄청 많이 읽고 다음 말을 맞히는 거지.

   Biseutae. Nyuseueseoneun 'maneun geureul hakseupameurosseo daeum mareul yecheukanda'go hadeora. Geureul eomcheong mani ilgo daeum mareul machineun geoji.

   Kind of. On the news they said it "predicts the next word by learning from huge amounts of text." It reads loads and loads, then guesses what comes next.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 여보, 여덟 살한테 너무 어렵게 말하는 거 아니야?

   Yeobo, yeodeol salhante neomu eoryeopge malhaneun geo aniya?

   Honey, isn't that too hard for an eight-year-old?

   Line 8
9. 9

   C 아니야, 나 알아들었어. 책을 엄청 많이 읽은 앵무새지?

   Aniya, na aradeureosseo. Chaegeul eomcheong mani ilgeun aengmusaeji?

   No, I get it. It's a parrot that's read loads of books, right?

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 하하, 듣고 보니 그게 제일 정확한 설명이네.

    Haha, deutgo boni geuge jeil jeonghwakan seolmyeongine.

    Ha ha, now that I hear it, that's the best explanation yet.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그건 그렇고, 숙제란 원래 스스로 하는 거야. 다음부턴 스피커한테 답 묻지 마.

    Geugeon geureoko, sukjeran wollae seuseuro haneun geoya. Daeumbuteon seupikeohante dap mutji ma.

    Anyway, homework is something you're supposed to do yourself. Don't ask the speaker for answers from now on.

    Line 11
12. 12

    C 알았어. 대신 지금 이상한 질문 하나 해 봐도 돼?

    Arasseo. Daesin jigeum isanghan jilmun hana hae bwado dwae?

    Okay. But can I ask it one silly question now?

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 좋아, 우리 앵무새가 뭐라고 하는지 보자.

    Joa, uri aengmusaega mworago haneunji boja.

    Sure, let's see what our parrot says.

    Line 13
14. 14

    C 스피커야, 우리 아빠 코 고는 소리는 왜 그렇게 커?

    Seupikeoya, uri appa ko goneun sorineun wae geureoke keo?

    Speaker, why is my dad's snoring so loud?

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 하하, 그건 엄마도 진짜 궁금했어.

    Haha, geugeon eommado jinjja gunggeumhaesseo.

    Ha ha, I've always wanted to know that too.

    Line 15
16. 16

    C 어? 스피커가 잘 모르겠대!

    Eo? Seupikeoga jal moreugetdae!

    Huh? The speaker says it doesn't know!

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 알고 보니 AI도 모르는 게 있구나. 아빠 코 고는 소리는 영원한 비밀이네.

    Algo boni AIdo moreuneun ge itguna. Appa ko goneun sorineun yeongwonhan bimirine.

    So it turns out even AI doesn't know everything. Dad's snoring will stay a mystery forever.
