Aespa’s Winter Gives Her Brutally Honest Opinion About AI Covers
aespa’s Winter has received a mix of praise and surprise from netizens for her honest opinions about AI covers.
On July 30, she held a live broadcast and answered a question about AI covers.
Ah, you shouldn’t do AI. You can’t, no, no. They say AI is a bad thing. I’ll sing you the things that have been covered using AI. Except for the songs I don’t know.
— Winter
She then continued to sing popular songs live on broadcast for the fans, including songs by IU, Taeyeon, TVXQ, Baek Ji Young, Taeyang, and more.

She ended up singing so many songs that she was worried that fans wouldn’t be curious anymore.

I’m worried that you guys aren’t going to be curious anymore because I sang so many songs for you.

Netizens agreed that although AI covers were wrong, they would be acceptable if given permission by the rightful owners.
- “She then proceeded to sing songs with AI covers of her.”
- “But some artists always hit with AI covers say its ok for fans to listen to them. It doesn’t mean AI is wrong, but if that’s how things are going, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
- “My bias used to upload covers of songs fans requested on YouTube before AI covers, but now seeing it being a trend is a bit strange..”
- “I’m not saying this directly to Winter, but I just find it surprising that she said that it’s wrong to use AI.”
- “I don’t think AI is necessarily all bad and wrong, but if you agree with the original artist, it’s ok. Of course, I understand Winter’s opinion, too.”
- “Everything she said is right. It’s so cute how she says she’ll sing everything except for ones she doesn’t know.”
- “AI is bad in the eyes of artists.”
- “I don’t think she knows exactly why it’s bad.”
- “Does she really have to explain in detail during a live broadcast though?”
