Fans are very disappointed with their label.
BillieTeaser images of ‘s return were met with heavy negative reactions.
At the end of September, it was announced that Billlie would make their long-awaited return as a full group with a new album after more than a year and a half. The mini-album, appendix: Of everything we have lostwill be released on October 16th with plans for a pre-release on October 11th.
Billlie have often been praised for their creative imagery and concepts, but the teasers thus released for their new album have not lived up to fans. On October 2, the album covers were revealed, which initially appeared to continue the previous series.

However, upon closer inspection, fans noticed clear signs that the images were generated by artificial intelligence. One sign of AI use is appendages, with AI images usually containing extra fingers.
One of Billlie’s covers featured a hand with six fingers, a red flag for fans.
The album’s artist apparently confirmed the use of AI, stating that he would explain why the AI ​​was used.
AI has been widely contested for using the work of human artists for training without permission, and many do not consider it art at all. Fans have criticized the use of artificial intelligence in the hope that it can be changed before the album’s release.
