Kong, also known as Ezra Kong Yi Jia, explained that he previously relied on a Malay language teacher for grammar checks but recently started experimenting with AI. "When the AI said one sentence was inaccurate, Daiyan immediately asked, 'Why did you ask AI?' From her tone on WhatsApp, it was clear she didn't like the use of AI. I think she was a little angry," Kong shared via a Threads post.

To resolve the dispute, they turned to Daiyan's mother for a final decision. She confirmed that the lyrics were indeed correct within the context of artistic expression. "She said that artistic language shouldn't just follow rules, it should follow feeling. So, am I wrong here?" Kong mused.
