1. The columnist wrote that at the village community hall in Ganghwa, a voice assistant failed to understand his grandmother's dialect question, "Will it rain tomorrow?".
2. When he asked the same question in standard language, "Will it rain tomorrow?", the machine immediately answered with the chance of rain and that it would clear up in the afternoon.
3. The writer said that what technology understands is determined by the records we leave behind, and that he is writing down what he hears in a notebook.
