【要約】
This video from a K-pop girl group, Eternity, has racked up 6.5 million views on YouTube in nine months. To our surprise, they are not real. Tech-tainment company Pulse9 created these characters and face-swapped them with human actors using artificial intelligence.

According to one AI pop star, Zae-in, their performance can be seen anywhere at any time if we have devices. They are not limited by location. Eternity isn't the only AI group. Meta: is another virtual group with tens of millions of views. Kang Sang-Ku, who created Meta: with Metaverse, says that they have captured human performance and turned it into 3D animations.

Their goal is not to replace human artists like BTS or Beyonce. Instead, they want to create something like the next generation of Siri. In this case, the avatars that sing and dance remember and know the user and talk to them based on that information by using artificial intelligence. They are not limited by language. They won't age and they won't be tired up.

However, the developers concede that there may need to be laws to regulate these creations so that someone evil cannot use them. Anyway, we now have a glimpse into the not-too-distant future of entertainment.
