‘Godlike Writer’ Kim Byungwan Publishes ‘Writing Books That Beat ChatGPT’

Author Kim Byung-wan, a former Samsung Electronics employee who spent three years buried in libraries, reading 10,000 books and publishing over 100 books and lectures for 10,000 won, asked ChatGPT questions and published a book based on the answers... Author Kim focuses on the limitations of ChatGPT, which cannot match human emotions and creativity

"What is something artificial intelligence (AI) can never achieve?"

We asked ChatGPT. It replied, "Currently, there are still tasks or problems that artificial intelligence cannot perfectly handle."

For example, Absolute human knowledge and intuitive understanding: Human perception and judgment require extensive human knowledge such as philosophy, ethics, aesthetics, and politics. Moreover, human intuitive understanding is shaped by various factors including emotions, experiences, and culture, making it difficult for AI to fully comprehend and replicate.

Creativity and originality: Creativity and originality are the abilities to generate new ideas or solutions. Since AI derives results based on existing data or rules, the human role remains crucial in tasks requiring creativity and originality.

Understanding human emotions in interactions: In interactions between humans and AI, understanding and appropriately responding to human emotions is important. However, so far, AI finds it difficult to fully understand human emotions.

Physical constraints: AI is closely linked to hardware. Due to physical limitations of hardware, there are problems AI cannot absolutely solve. For example, while AI can solve many problems on Earth, solving problems in outer space requires better hardware technology. Despite these limitations, it is expected that the range of problems AI can solve will expand with ongoing technological advancements and research.

After more than 10 years of mobile phone research at Samsung Electronics, Kim Byung-wan gave up a stable job upon realizing that "the life of a salaried worker is like fallen leaves." He then secluded himself in libraries for three years, practicing "1000 days of reading," reading 10,000 books, and has written over 100 books in more than 10 years, earning the nickname "the possessed author." Recently, he published a book about the current trend of ChatGPT and human writing.

In his book titled “Human Book Writing That Beats ChatGPT” (published by K-Miracle Morning), Kim Byung-wan highlights the significant difference in level between ChatGPT and human book writing by asking ChatGPT questions and obtaining answers.

He pointed out that robots now compose symphonies, paint pictures, and it has become difficult to distinguish articles written by algorithms from those by human journalists, citing the widespread use of ChatGPT. Especially in finance sectors like Wall Street, tens of thousands of highly skilled workers have lost jobs due to AI. Today, at least 50-70% of stock market trades rely on automated algorithms.

However, no matter how advanced AI becomes in creation, the creativity generated by the human brain is on a different level. He asserts, "Among all inventions existing on Earth today, the most sophisticated and astonishing device is not AI ChatGPT but your brain."

Human imagination and creativity can only be associated with the human brain. Kim says, "There are writings that ChatGPT can never produce. These are writings imbued with human emotions and creativity. Mechanical and corpse-like dead texts can be written by ChatGPT. But living, breathing texts filled with emotion and creativity, texts that make hearts race and flutter, texts that allow readers to imagine, texts that convey the author's feelings and moods intact to readers?these ChatGPT can never write."

He confidently states that even after 100 years, AI will never experience or live through the joys and sorrows of human life, which are deeper and greater than the universe, affirming a hopeful "domain where humans cannot be surpassed." This is somewhat comforting.

However, to coexist with the rapidly advancing AI, humans must strive to further develop creativity and emotions.
