GOT7‘s Mark Tuan is known for being among the most chill and personable idols.
The star is introverted, meaning he is sometimes quiet and reserved, reflecting his social media usage. The star even jokes about this in his Threads account bio, saying it was probably “another platform I probably won’t use.”
Recently, it was announced that the star found another way to make himself available to fans, but not everyone is a fan of the method or results.
Nearly a year ago, Mark teased a collaboration with Soul Machines, mentioning that he would create a digital twin, though fans were not initially clear what that would mean.

On July 18, Mark’s digital twin was revealed as the company’s first digital celebrity enabled with Chat GPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot.

Others are not fans of the idea, as the usage of AI has always brought mixed reactions. One of the concerns fueling the current SAG-AFTRA strike is the potential ability of a studio to use someone’s digital image indefinitely with no compensation.
