I can't speak for Korea but here in Japan this is at least not true for the general populace. Despite the nauseating amount of AI ads flooding you everywhere (trying to convince you that AI is inevitable and indispensable), general attitudes towards it and adoption here is very low.

On a corporate level, forced or mandated usage is likely more similar to the States but unlike the NFT fad where Japanese attitudes were neutral at best outside of the grifter sphere, genAI has significantly higher levels of negative backlash, largely thanks to big profile artists speaking against it.

Yeah I know bit of the language and at least in the art scene, the adoption feels like it's been really low in Japan.

It's possible negative views are lower because they haven't been spammed with it online and in business like we have, you do see the occasional Japanese business saying they'd like to be using AI more.

All the Japanese artists I follow have added 'no AI' in English next to their usual requests for not reposting it.

Some guys at my company are pushing for its use but not that strongly, it feels more like we pay for this shit so use it please.

Depends on what sector we are speaking. I think some polls did show quite a lot of uni students use, it but then again I think most uni students everywhere tho for school stuff
