People can't seem to get enough of the iPhone X but Chrissy Teigen's had enough. There's one feature she absolutely cannot stand: Animojis.

In case you missed all the hullaballoo about this particular feature, Animojis are exclusive to the iPhone X and its TrueDepth camera. The 12 Animoji options copy your voice, facial expressions, and even your head turns, which is definitely, 100 percent not creepy at all.

Creative individuals have already put this new feature to a very important use: Animoji karaoke. Which is pretty much all it's good for.

Chrissy vented her thoughts about this peculiar and rather infantile Apple addition. True to form, she didn't hold back.

Teigen says the "emoji karaoke things" are "too Black-Mirror-y."

"The world is on fire. We are adults. I don't want a chipper pig," wrote Teigen. She's right.

You tell 'em, Chrissy.
