Caonimas have been noticing that AI-generated visuals have been appearing in k-pop music videos more and more over the course of the past year. At the same time, there’s also been a rise in the denial of the use of AI in music videos by k-pop fans eager to cape for their biases. But what is the truth, and how is Kpopalypse determining the use of AI? This post has the trufax!

When AI-generated imagery started appearing in k-pop music videos, I originally wanted to boycott all use of AI imagery everywhere in roundup and Kpopalypse coverage in general. My stance on this was because of the following reasons:

Unfortunately for me, this moral high-ground proved to be unworkable. The use of AI has now taken off to such an extent that if I stood true to that boycott I’d probably be left with a large chunk of the most interesting comebacks not even covered, and there goes half the stuff in roundup people actually want to see. So the only stuff that I’m boycotting is the super lazy stuff, the videos that are literally just an AI prompt into a video-maker like Sora and not much else. Please now thank one of my readers as I introduce you to AI Jesus:

This terrifying video showcases typical lazy AI video generation results and shows a lot of the things that AI can’t do right consistently yet, like draw the Roman numerals on clocks correctly, figure how how many digits people have on their hands, or stan Chuu in a sensible fashion.
