From the storytelling and imagery in the video, viewers were able to deduce that the music video for “Maestro”will address the incorporation of AI technology in art, portraying a “clash”between SEVENTEEN and AI.
Despite this, the video’s disclaimer sparked controversies when it disclosed that AI was used to create some of the footage featured in the “Maestro”Teaser.
In particular, AI usage has faced significant backlash in the art world as it has been accused of using artworks without permission for its “training process”.
As a result, despite their criticism of the technology, SEVENTEEN’s use of AI has been labeled as “hypocritical”by many. This is because their agency could have chosen to hire VFX artists to create AI-like art instead. Furthermore, numerous fans express their desire for the AI use to only utilize the production house’s own database, in order to avoid “stealing”from human artists.
Using AI to ‘criticize AI’ does not makes you exempt from using AI in your art lol. No hate to SVT but the AI part ruins this teaser. No, it is not a compliment. No, they’re not proving their point. Their point could’ve been made had they used real life artist too. https://t.co/eoWYNheE9Y

although i do hope they used their own database to create the ai parts of the mv so no art from human artists got stolen for it (ig we will see later when it’s out)

Despite criticism, there are fans who are standing up for the group and arguing that the use of AI is necessary in order to showcase the limitations of technology when it comes to creating “authentic art”that only humans are capable of producing.
The people trying to come for SEVENTEEN for using AI have clearly missed the whole point 😭I need you to take a step back and ask yourself this, how do you expect them to speak on the use of AI, if they don’t show it in the mv? Which btw requires them to actually use AI. pic.twitter.com/FdhIi6KDQC

On the flip side, RIIZE has also faced backlash for their use of AI in their “visualizer”content, as seen in a recent controversy.
