NMIXX’s Lily makes prescient call to protect humanity in music, group is later subjected to AI cover using their voices by BiliBili

NMIXX member Lily recently took to social media to praise the involvement of humanity in music and art, “Isn’t music so unbelievable!? All those talented people coming together to make an art piece. It’s beautiful. I want to protect it forever. Let’s protect the humanity in music.”

Without context, that probably feels like a valid but random shot at the increasing use of generative AI, but it turns out it was actually quite relevant as she and the other NMIXX members were recently subjected to listening to AI impersonating their voices in Chinese for a BiliBili event.

Charitably, they looked confused. Realistically, it was disgust, and Lily’s comments definitely dovetail with her reaction.

Maybe she posted that at the time when this was filmed, but it’s funnier to imagine she just knew it was coming at some point.

Either way, the sentiment is based.

And it’s necessary considering gen AI is making inroads in mainstream South Korean culture as well, obviously.
