Fans Ask 'Is ChatGPT the Dad?' as Virtual Singer From AI Girl Band Quits Over 'Pregnancy'

An AI girl band in China has triggered a backlash after its creators admitted inventing a pregnancy to explain a virtual singer's departure, prompting fans to ask who the father is and whether the baby would be a robot.BABYQUEEN announced in October 2026 that member Mity was expecting a child and temporarily leaving the group. The claim quickly attracted attention online, with users questioning how a computer-generated performer could become pregnant. For context, BABYQUEEN is a virtual pop group whose members exist as AI-generated characters rather than human performers. Its creators initially treated Mity's supposed pregnancy like a genuine entertainment industry announcement, complete with references to maternity leave and recovery. The explanation fell apart when those behind the project acknowledged that the pregnancy was fictional.
