Why AI Can’t Hug You | Soh Yeong Roh

🥬👩‍💻 Out-dancing AI, growing veggies, and dodging digital burnout like pros. In this episode of Seoulmates Diaries, we sit down with Soh Yeong Roh — founding director of Nabi Art Center and a true pioneer of the Seoul art-tech scene.

From dial-up days to ChatGPT panic, from robot hugs to real human presence, Soh-yeong reflects on Korea’s unique journey through new media and what it actually means to stay human in a world that’s always online.

✨ Topics we get into:
– The early days of internet art (pre-www vibes)
– Why AI can’t dance (yet)
– What’s left for us humans (spoiler: it's more than you think)
– Cooking for the future — literally 🍲
– The power of offline, community, and slow tech
