Skai Jackson is speaking out after facing online criticism over her frequent use of AI on social media. During a recent livestream, Jackson addressed questions from viewers, which has sparked ongoing debate across platforms.
Skai Jackson has recently gone viral for sharing AI-generated photos depicting fictional life moments, including images of herself getting married, having a child, and even being in a hospital. Some of her posts even include edited images placing her alongside high-profile celebrities, including Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner.
Recently, during her Twitch stream, Skai was questioned about her use of AI, following the internet’s debate.
One commenter asked, Did she say why she uses AI so much?”
In response, Jackson said:
Everybody uses it. Apple uses it, I believe Microsoft uses it. So if you dont want to use AI, I would suggest you maybe turn your phone off and delete Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, throw away your iPhone and switch to a Samsung.
Jacksons response quickly sparked mixed reactions on social media, with users debating both her reasoning and how she chooses to use AI.
The debate surrounding Skais use of AI has also led to confusion among fans about distinguishing real moments from edited ones.
The former Disney Channel star recently attended the Los Angeles premiere of ‘MICHAEL,’ the upcoming biopic centered on Michael Jackson. While at the event, Jackson posed for a photo with streamer Kai Cenat, who was also in attendance. After the image began circulating online, some social media users questioned whether the photo was authentic or another AI-generated post.
