The singer announced her pregnancy - and then an impossible question arose

Miti, a star of the virtual girl group BABYQUEEN created by artificial intelligence, announced her pregnancy and temporary departure. The announcement went viral with over 78 million views, but the creators revealed the story was invented to explain the character's removal due to workload.

Miti, a star of the virtual girl group BABYQUEEN, created using artificial intelligence, announced her pregnancy and temporary departure from the group. The announcement, published on October 13 on the Chinese social network Weibo, included an apology to fans and an explanation that the decision was made after discussions with management. The announcement quickly became the talk of the day in China, with over 78 million views, even though the group had only about 1,100 followers. Users wondered who the father was, with some asking cynically 'Who's the father? ChatGPT?' or 'Is the server the father?'. Later, one of the creators behind the group revealed that the pregnancy story was fabricated and intended to provide an explanation for removing the character due to the burden of managing multiple virtual characters. The creators, students who love K-pop, claimed the project started as a hobby without intention to make money, and that they suffered personal attacks following the affair.
