   A 엄마, 이번 교내 글쓰기 대회 대상, 우리 반 민서가 받았어.

   Eomma, ibeon gyonae geulsseugi daehoe daesang, uri ban minseoga badasseo.

   Mom, Minseo from my class won first prize in the school writing contest.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 잘됐네. 근데 너는 좀 속상하겠다. 엄청 열심히 썼잖아.

   Jaldwaenne. Geunde neoneun jom soksanghagetda. Eomcheong yeolsimhi sseotjana.

   Good for her. You must be a bit disappointed, though. You worked really hard on yours.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 속상한 건 괜찮아. 근데 문제가 있어. 그 글, 민서가 직접 쓴 게 아니야. 인공지능이 써 줬대.

   Soksanghan geon gwaenchana. Geunde munjega isseo. Geu geul, minseoga jikjeop sseun ge aniya. Ingongjineungi sseo jwotdae.

   Being disappointed is fine. But there's a problem. Minseo didn't write that essay herself. An AI wrote it for her.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 뭐? 황당하네. 그걸 어떻게 알아? 민서가 직접 그랬어?

   Mwo? Hwangdanghane. Geugeol eotteoke ara? Minseoga jikjeop geuraesseo?

   What? That's ridiculous. How do you know? Did Minseo tell you herself?

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 제출 전날 단톡방에 자랑했어. 챗봇한테 주제만 넣었더니 십 초 만에 써 줬다고.

   Jechul jeonnal dantokbange jaranghaesseo. Chaetbotante jujeman neoeotdeoni sip cho mane sseo jwotdago.

   She bragged about it in the group chat the day before it was due. She said she just typed the topic into a chatbot and it wrote the essay in ten seconds.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그래도 조금은 고쳤을 수도 있잖아. 도움만 받은 거지 통째로 베낀 건 아닐 수도 있고.

   Geuraedo jogeumeun gochyeosseul sudo itjana. Doumman badeun geoji tongjjaero bekkin geon anil sudo itgo.

   She might have changed it a bit, though. Maybe she just got some help and didn't copy the whole thing.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 캡처 봤으면 그런 말 못 해. 수상작이랑 비교해 봤는데 어이없게도 문장 하나 안 바꿨더라. 그건 불공평할뿐더러 규칙 위반이야.

   Kaepcheo bwasseumyeon geureon mal mot hae. Susangjagirang bigyohae bwanneunde eoieopgedo munjang hana an bakkwotdeora. Geugeon bulgongpyeonghalppundeoreo gyuchik wibaniya.

   You wouldn't say that if you'd seen the screenshot. I compared it with the winning essay, and unbelievably, she didn't change a single sentence. It's not just unfair, it's against the rules.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 그럼 너는 어떻게 하고 싶은데?

   Geureom neoneun eotteoke hago sipeunde?

   So what do you want to do about it?

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 선생님께 말씀드리려고. 근데 애들이 알면 내가 고자질했다고 할 거야. 다들 이 정도는 다 쓴대.

   Seonsaengnimkke malsseumdeuriryeogo. Geunde aedeuri almyeon naega gojajilhaetdago hal geoya. Dadeul i jeongdoneun da sseundae.

   I'm going to tell my teacher. But if the others find out, they'll say I snitched. Everyone says they all use it this much.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 음, 고자질이랑 잘못을 알리는 건 좀 다르지 않을까? 네가 상을 뺏으려고 그러는 건 아니잖아.

    Eum, gojajirirang jalmoseul allineun geon jom dareuji aneulkka? Nega sangeul ppaeseuryeogo geureoneun geon anijana.

    Hmm, isn't telling tales a bit different from reporting something wrong? It's not as if you're trying to take the prize for yourself.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 당연히 아니지. 몇 주씩 고쳐 쓴 애들도 있는데 억울해서 그래. 가만히 있으면 내 양심에 찔려.

    Dangyeonhi aniji. Myeot jussik gochyeo sseun aedeuldo inneunde eogulhaeseo geurae. Gamanhi isseumyeon nae yangsime jjillyeo.

    Of course not. Some kids rewrote theirs for weeks, and it's not fair on them. If I just keep quiet, my conscience will bother me.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그럼 그 마음 그대로 말씀드려. 대신 민서 이름을 여기저기 떠들고 다니면 안 돼. 그건 친구한테 망신을 주는 거지 규칙을 지키는 게 아니야.

    Geureom geu maeum geudaero malsseumdeuryeo. Daesin minseo ireumeul yeogijeogi tteodeulgo danimyeon an dwae. Geugeon chinguhante mangsineul juneun geoji gyuchigeul jikineun ge aniya.

    Then tell her exactly that. But don't go spreading Minseo's name around. That's humiliating a friend, not standing up for the rules.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 알아. 선생님께만 조용히 말씀드릴 거야. 증거로 캡처만 보여 드리고.

    Ara. Seonsaengnimkkeman joyonghi malsseumdeuril geoya. Jeunggeoro kaepcheoman boyeo deurigo.

    I know. I'll only tell the teacher, quietly. I'll just show her the screenshot as proof.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그리고 인공지능을 어디까지 써도 되는지 규칙을 더 명확히 만들어 달라고 건의해 봐. 그게 공평할뿐더러 너희 모두한테 도움이 될 거야.

    Geurigo ingongjineungeul eodikkaji sseodo doeneunji gyuchigeul deo myeonghwaki mandeureo dallago geonuihae bwa. Geuge gongpyeonghalppundeoreo neohui moduhante doumi doel geoya.

    And suggest they make clearer rules about how far you're allowed to use AI. That would be fairer, and it'd help all of you.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 오, 그거 좋다. 그냥 신고만 하는 것보다 훨씬 낫네. 엄마, 가끔은 되게 똑똑하다?

    O, geugeo jota. Geunyang singoman haneun geotboda hwolssin nanne. Eomma, gakkeumeun doege ttokttokada?

    Ooh, good idea. That's much better than just reporting her. Mom, you're actually pretty smart sometimes.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 가끔? 엄마도 학교 다닐 때 글짓기 상 받은 사람이야. 인공지능 없이.

    Gakkeum? Eommado hakgyo danil ttae geuljitgi sang badeun saramiya. Ingongjineung eopsi.

    Sometimes? I won a writing prize at school too, you know. Without any AI.
