On March 4, TXT celebrated their 7th debut anniversary with fans. In a video released on their official YouTube channel, the members chatted with people they believed were other junior idols in the industry.
However, right from the get-go, Taehyun felt something was off.
Don’t tell me this is some ChatGPT or Gemini?
— Taehyun
Throughout the chat, the member kept guessing who they were chatting with.
After time was up, the members were able to find out who they were talking to.
The person you have been chatting with so far is a conversational AI that has learned from your records up to one year after your debut.
Although interesting, fans felt there was no need to use AI to celebrate such a special day.
there was absolutely no reason to use AI to portray a narrative for their 7th year. the heartbreaking part is them mentioning so many other idol’s names that they were probably “excited talking to” just for it to be AI. oh my god this just makes me sick.just unnecessary behaviour https://t.co/KLvFMjo52O pic.twitter.com/VdwseGteTo

“the way my tears went BACK into my tearducts” no bc same experience when i watched the vid. My tears broke out bc of the realization that TXT grew up to be the persons they wanted to have and look up to as trainees. Then they had to ruin it by revealing it was all ai chat bots https://t.co/t90PQup1Dl
