However, fans are criticizing management for excluding the members. Taeyeonboth textual and physical.
In the currently trending tweet, X (former twitter) User@podofskywhales pointed out that Taeyong's name was absent from the list of names…
β¦It also included his face, but in what appears to be an AI-generated form.
Another user, @taeyomi71, shared further “proof” that the image of Taeyong used in the video was generated by AI.
Case in point: look at his nostrils. They're not that big. Second picture, his nose is too round. And he's missing a finger. Third picture, he's missing a finger again. He has a very pointy nose and all the fingers on both hands https://t.co/YlGBfyTHSW pic.twitter.com/JbvWxdKBW8

In fact, the appearance of the AI-generated Taeyeon sparked fierce opposition among fans. “That's rude.”
The only thing consistent about how SM has handled Taeyong's involvement in this CB is the disrespect. They chose to include him in this track video alongside AI, which is the most exploitative and inhumane choice imaginable https://t.co/8BApkTzwzF

Taeyong literally raps, “No one can take my place,” and his company responds, “Yeah right,” with a must-use AI-generated video of him performing on stage. pic.twitter.com/Bpl5ccEpQf

“SM has used AI before and received negative reactions. It's one thing to use it once, learn from it, and not repeat it, but it's another to continue doing it. This is especially disrespectful to Taeyong because they knew fans would have an issue with it.”

NCT fans are worried that SM Entertainment “AI has no boundaries” after that “Future goods, photo cards, songs.” and more could all be generated by AI.
Using AI to recreate the faces of real artists means that company policies have no boundaries regarding the authenticity of the AI ββor artist images.
That means that in the future the merchandise you buy, the photo cards you listen to, and the songs you listen to may not actually be from that artist. https://t.co/Jbxqljuou1

If possible, please send a short report to Kwangya 119 about using AI to generate Taeyeon's image.
If they can do it once, other SM artists can do it again too.
Can you tell if the poca you bought is real? Or if the vocals you're listening to are real? pic.twitter.com/E8ckhtArv3
