"I guess it's better for the company since she won't ever be sick," "At least the agencies won't need to worry about any dating rumors or school bullying controversy," "I'm always curious about this, then who would be the voice actor and who would do the singing?" "Are they going to use an AI program for the voice too?" "I feel like making an AI character like this making its debut is worsening our society that is so visual-based," "This is so strange. I mean it's better than a robot but still very strange!" and "She's pretty but I won't be its fan."
