1. ChatGPT shows limitations in East Asian languages, but not for long: linguist

기사요약: 세상을 바꿀 기술로 전세계의 이목을 사로잡은 오픈AI의 인공지능 챗봇 ChatGPT의 한계에 대해 옥스포드대학교 한국어 언어학 Jieun Kiaer 교수가 말하다. 



[1] ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot taking the English-speaking world by storm, is being called by many as a mind-blowing “game changer.”

For now, East Asian countries, which use their own search engines and platforms different from the rest of the world, are spared by the immediate impact, although it won’t be long before AI is trained to get information from them as well, according to Jieun Kiaer, a professor of Korean linguistics at the University of Oxford.

*take the world by the storm: 세상을 사로잡다

*mind-blowing: 너무 신나는, 감동적인, 놀라운

*game changer: 게임 체인저 (상황 전개를 완전히 바꿔놓는 사람이나 아이디어, 사건)

*pragmatics: 화용론 (말하는 이, 듣는 이, 시간, 장소 따위로 구성되는 맥락과 관련하여 문장의 의미를 체계적으로 분석하려는 의미론의 한 분야)

*interpersonal: 대인관계에 관련된

*hierarchy: 계급, 계층, 지배층



[3] The professor explained that chatbots like ChatGPT lack linguistic diversity, pragmatic versatility and it takes huge quantities of money, time and energy to train AI bots to process language as the human brain can.

*versatility: 다양성, 다재다능한

*flock: 떼 지어 가다, 모이다

*outdated: 구식인 (out of date)

*alley: 골목



[3] In Melbourne, drinking coffee at a specialty coffee shop is a daily routine for many locals, regardless of their income, he said. However, in Korea people are likely to settle for lower quality, low priced coffee on a daily basis rather than splurge on specialty coffee.

*settle for: ~으로 만족하다

*daily basis: 일일 단위로

*splurge: 돈을 물 쓰듯 쓰다
