K-Pop Fans Outraged Over AI Edits of Idols
A new trend using AI technology to create digital “memories” with K-Pop idols has sparked major backlash. Fans are concerned that these AI-generated images, which depict male idols kissing or interacting with fans, are invasive and exploitative.
Netizens state that AI can be used to edit idols into inappropriate situations without consent. This has led to fierce discussions on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit.
“STOP the polaroid AI edit thing please…” a fan tweeted.
Others echoed these sentiments, calling for the community to respect idols as “human beings, not objects.”
A fan account for the group Cortis tweeted:
“We kindly remind all fans not to use AI or edit member photos in a sexualized or inappropriate manner.”
Concerned fans argue that using AI poses serious risks, not only for the idols but also for those creating the edits. They warn that data could be misused and manipulated in harmful ways, creating unforeseen consequences.
A Twitter user pointed out:
“Please please stop using AI to edit ur pic with idols… AI will save your data in their system…”
The debate over AI in K-Pop is escalating, with many pointing to the ethical implications of such technology. The controversy is growing, as many fans voice their disapproval publicly.
One Redditor remarked:
“K-pop fans who do this are so weird. I can’t believe this is becoming a trend.”
As more fans speak out, it seems this AI trend may face a significant pushback within the community.
