Yet, the excitement faded for many fans after the video was released.

Yet, when it was released, netizens shared their disappointment that, despite their excitement, the music video was full of AI use. Although AI is becoming more used worldwide, netizens are worried it has become dangerous in many ways. When it came to the XG video, they shared anger at the use and how it would impact XG and their reputation in the future.

Please stop using AI… The quality keeps going down in every new MV because you are using AI more and more. Please stop… You have the talent to do things the normal way, look at your beginnings and what made XG popular. Don't loose your identity to AI. https://t.co/HYUpemBVC8 pic.twitter.com/rAlDIp5eev

considering xg continues to build their identity for having outstanding visuals, its disappointing that xgalx chose to rely on ai for this mv. given their tight sched, honestly a choreo vid, acapella perf or smthing wouldve been enough and better. this just feels underwhelming..
