Korean netizens have recently expressed their disappointment with the latest teasers for nævis, criticizing both the visual and conceptual elements.

Many have pointed out that the artwork appears unpolished, with some even suggesting that it ironically resembles AI-generated art.

Additionally, others noted striking similarities between the teasers and imagery from the iconic anime 'Neon Genesis Evangelion,' sparking accusations of unoriginality.

Korean netizens commented:

"It's just AI generated... Did they input Neon Genesis Evangelion art to generate these images?"

"This is too much."

"The character's face looks so much like AI-generated art. lol. It looks so similar to those AI-generated art circulating on Twitter."

"This is an exact copy of Neon Genesis Evangelion."

"Using AI-generated art for AI characters..."

"It's is crossing the line. They didn't even try. It looks so AI-generated."

"I don't think it matters that they used an AI program to generate these photos since nævis is AI herself."

"This looks like Neon Genesis Evangelion fan art."

"I have much to say but am holding back."

"They definitely used Neon Genesis Evangelion photos to generate these teasers through AI-program."

Meanwhile, SM Entertainment teamed up with LG Uplus' ixi-GEN technology to create generative AI content for Nævis' debut. Nævis will be making her debut on September 10 at 6 PM with the single 'Done.'
