Growing concern on the use of AI generated graphics

AI-generated graphics are becoming more common on social media and in marketing. Many people use these tools because they are fast and easy. However, not everyone supports this trend. In South Africa, many creatives and audiences are raising concerns about AI graphics, especially when it comes to authenticity and fairness.

One of the biggest issues is that AI graphics often do not feel authentic. In South Africa, storytelling is deeply connected to culture, identity, and lived experience. When an image is created by AI, it does not come from real emotions or personal stories.

Visual storytelling is a powerful tool that brings stories to life by combining imagery, emotion, and movement to create meaningful connections. Through digital media, people are able to explore new places, experience different cultures, and see the world through someone else’s lens. From personal journeys to travel stories like those shared by South African creator Popi Sibiya, visual storytelling shows how real experiences can inspire, connect, and shape the way we understand the world around us.
