I watched the video and I wasnt sure if they were being ironic using AI to make it. The game is pretty anti AI. Its like if you make a movie about hating McDonald's and then make a positive commercial in one to promote the next movie as rage bait or something.

YouTube comments are pretty cut and dry negative but reddit comments add some depth about the culture In Korea.

" Korean companies, and I’m not just talking about gaming, have very publicly embraced AI, so this is par for the course. Even a custom glasses manufacturer I used, Breezm, recently sent out marketing emails about it how they’re so proud to be using AI to “personalize” their custom glasses."

"We shouldn't be surprised that a country that treats cosmetic surgery as basically a necessity, idolises a skewed idea of perfectionism and has a very culturally "narrow" acceptable behavioural framework that pushes simulated unity & conformity over individuality would be a heavy adopter of AI in creative fields. A lot of cultural signposts are filled with simulacra that resemble reality (ie the entire kpop scene) while not conforming exactly to any true reality, so why would the simulation of creativity be a hill to die on?

That isn't to say it's a good thing, but there are fewer barriers to break down for it to be commonplace and even celebrated."

"It does surprise me.

Like in my mind Korea is very, very superficial. Everything gotta be beautiful and perfect. Hence why cosmetic surgery is so incredibly common (and I don't think cosmetic surgery is inherently evil).

Then to a surprise I learnt that a lot of people succesfuly, especially companies, there embraced AI even though it produced really ugly and malformed texts, images and videos. The very opposite of what I imagined Koreans would tolerate.

AI really seems to spread to every tech focused culture it seems."
