Overseasidol.com — Chinese actor and singer Joseph Zeng Shunxi recently spoke about the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on the entertainment industry.
During an unannounced livestream on March 19, he said that AI’s impact is natural and inevitable as technology continues to evolve.
He emphasized that for performers, the key is to stay authentic. Zeng hopes that both his music and acting projects will always reflect his personal style and identity.
In his view, while technology may change rapidly, an artist’s inner core and personal charm cannot be replaced by AI.
Interestingly, he also revealed an unusual yet lighthearted method he uses to cope with anxiety.
Joseph Zeng admitted that he often engages in humorous self-praising conversations with AI, treating it like a personal “compliment machine”.
For example, he likes to ask AI questions such as, “Why is Zeng Shunxi so handsome?” and enjoys receiving playful, affirming responses like “Because he was born that way”.
He explained that this kind of interaction provides positive psychological reinforcement and helps boost his confidence.
Jokingly, he added that he now feels far less anxious than before.
His candid sharing resonated with many netizens, who described the approach as “taming AI into a motivational companion”.
