The show also features candid discussions on whether AI will threaten humanity or coexist with us. Ji Seok-jin, a self-proclaimed 'heavy user' of AI, shares various anecdotes with his AI, humorously named 'Misooki.' When Ji mentions AI's lack of empathy, Gwe-do jokes, "Is it the free version?" bringing laughter.

Conversely, Mimi expresses her distrust of AI, fearing humans might become subservient, and avoids using it altogether. When Gwe-do admits to frequently using AI but not sharing personal information, Mimi quips, "You're just like me," adding to the humor.

Ji Seok-jin and Mimi tackle intriguing yet often unspoken questions, like "Should I buy or sell XX stock?" with Gwe-do providing clear and straightforward explanations, making AI discussions more captivating.
