NCT Member Fiercely Bashed For Still Using ChatGPT

Recently, NCT’s Taeyong appeared as a guest on the YouTube series Jeongwaja with host EXO’s Kai.

In this episode, the two visited Sungkyunkwan University to learn hands-on about the semiconductor major department.

While listening to the lecture, fans found it hilarious to see the two of them slowly drift away after failing to understand the class.

In particular, fans were disappointed after Taeyong revealed that he used ChatGPT.

taeyong : i’m still using ChatGPT and I use it for various things like checking my horoscope or fortunes. It’s great at reading fortunes lately
professor : it’s very accurate
taeyong : or asking how NCT TAEYONG is doing

Although inevitable, fans were frustrated at the continuous use of AI as idols in the creative industry.

using AI at corporate workplaces is just inevitable at some point otherwise u hold your entire team back. so i cant even comment on this lol i use AI at work. but maybe try to avoid using it for personal reasons its really bad for the environment taeyong. i also need to reduce 🙁

Meanwhile, controversy regarding the use of AI continues today, as it was revealed that GenAI used more water than the global bottled water industry in 2025.
