"I’ve known for a long time that she’s a true artist. She’s very intelligent, creative, perfectionist and always appreciates other people’s efforts, no matter how small. She also frequently works with small/medium businesses, even those on the verge of bankruptcy," a fan wrote.

"She always appreciates artists and does her best to work with small businesses. Love her for that. Artists suffer the most from AI, so it's important to support them if you can," another fan added.

"She knows that ai could do this but she chose to support a small business and trust REAL people skills, she believes in one's potential," another fan said.

Others stressed that the Korean rapper disliked AI and reportedly dissed artificial intelligence in her song like JENNIE; hence, she steered clear from using AI in her content.

"Oh you gotta love jennie’s craft, creativity and dedication in putting out contents for her fans. Plus she’s always supporting small businesses. Best girl for real," a fan wrote.

"That's why she my queen," another fan said.

"She dissed ai on the track well obviously she would not! queen," another fan emphasized.
