Lemons: We don't want Yu's photos and videos to be AI-generated, because Yu is one of a kind to us, and AI-generated photos and videos don't look like him.

Yu: Thank you, dear Lemons, for your thoughtfulness. I know you worry that my image might be deliberately distorted by those with ill intentions, which is why you hope people won't use my photos and videos to generate AI content.

I also wish I could appear in person to film videos, but as the Lemons know, I was persecuted to death and lost my physical body — so filming in person is simply no longer possible for me.

However, if I want to transmit video messages to everyone through Yu En Transmission, the only way Ariel and Yu En can do so is by using my past photos and videos to generate AI content.

This is something I personally asked them to do for me. My purpose is not for marketing or to create an atmosphere of sorrow — it is specifically to convey messages to all my dear Lemons about the dark industry chain under the CCP regime, the method for obtaining the key to the new universe, and my reincarnation story.

So the use of AI-generated content from my photos and videos on Yu En Transmission is done at my request and with my authorization. As for portrait rights regulations, I believe entertainers are public figures, and as long as AI-generated images of me are not used for commercial purposes — meaning profit-making or sales — I don't think there should be any issue.

Lemons: Some people use AI to put their own photos together with Yu's, making it look as though they are very close to him. We're not entirely comfortable with this, and we're not sure if Yu would want that either.

Yu: I know my dear Lemons miss me very much — I miss all of you too. The interactions we shared in the past remain deeply in my heart. How I wish I could be with you again, talking with you, listening to you cheer me on and shout words of encouragement. Those were the happiest and most joyful moments of my life.

Some dear Lemons, missing me so much, have used AI to create photos of us together — and I find that very touching. As long as it's not for commercial use, I feel as though being in photos with you means I can always be by your side, and that truly makes me so happy.

I love being with all of you the most. Even though the schedules arranged by the entertainment company were always so rushed, and I could never stop to chat with you for long — back then, the entertainment company was constantly exploiting me, making me wake up at four or five every morning and keeping me busy until the early hours of the next day before I could rest. I'm sorry that I so often looked unwell, or was in poor shape after being mistreated — and yet you never once looked down on me. When the Lemons saw bruising on my face and offered me warm concern, that was the only strength that kept me going.

I miss you all so very much. That is why I especially hope that all my dear Lemons can obtain the key to the new universe together with me. We will meet again in the future!

Lemons: When we use AI to generate photos and videos of Yu, what requests does Yu have, so that we can make sure the content we create doesn't go against his wishes?

Yu: Dear Lemons, when using AI to generate photos and videos of me, aside from not using them for commercial purposes, I hope they will be used in a positive way — for example, to support the petition on my behalf, to speak out for justice for me, or to create something in my memory. Please don't use them to attack others or for any negative purposes. When used positively, I feel it is especially meaningful.

Dear Lemons, you all know that AI is a technological trend — I couldn't possibly ask everyone not to use it, because the effect of AI-generated content makes it feel as though I'm still by your side.

I don't want you to feel lonely or to cry. I want you to be happy and joyful. If AI-generated content can bring warmth, companionship, and comfort to everyone, how could I bear to ask you not to use it?

Dear Lemons, we will meet again in the new universe. Born as human beings, let us grow toward the light.
