While browsing the Internet, I came across a post that caught my attention. It was titled "Men and Women Drawn by AI". The post claimed that an AI had generated images based on the keywords "Korean men and women in their 20s. The picture showed the stark contrast between the lives of men and women in their 20s in Korea.
The men were depicted as soldiers in the harsh winter, holding rifles and looking miserable. The women were shown enjoying their free time in cozy cafes, drinking coffee and chatting with friends. The post said, "This is reality.
The pictures are shocking. But it also gives us a surge of sympathy and respect for the men who serve in the military, because this is the reality that most young men in Korea face. While women have the privilege of pursuing their education, careers and personal interests, young men must endure the physical and mental hardships of military service, temporarily leaving behind their youth, dreams and freedom for their country.
What they are saying is that this is a very unfair situation. Women in Korea should be more grateful and supportive of men who risk their lives for their safety and peace. It will be fair if women also contribute to national defense by serving in the military or doing alternative service. This will promote gender equality and social harmony.
The AI-generated images are a wake-up call to society, showing the reality that we often ignore or take for granted. It shows the gender gap that exists in South Korea, the world's 13th largest economy. It shows the need for reform and change in the military system, which is outdated and oppressive. It shows the need for more dialogue and understanding between the sexes, which is often hampered by hostility and prejudice.
The AI-generated images should not be used to incite hatred or resentment but to inspire empathy and solidarity. These images should not just be products of AI technology but should be preserved as stimulants that reflect our society. They will remind us of our reality, which will change for the better.
