KUALA LUMPUR: Digital Hari Raya greeting cards have become the preferred choice these days.
The latest trend shows netizens getting more creative by transforming the cards into cartoon animations or personalised visuals generated using artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
For user Suzana Ali Hassan @ Ali, digital cards are not meant to replace the sentimental value of traditional greeting cards.
Instead, she said it serves as a new medium to express creativity and feelings in line with changing times.
Although the method of delivery has shifted to digital platforms, sincerity still depends on an individual’s intention when choosing the design, message and concept, said Suzana, 35.
“In the past, we wrote greetings by hand to create a different feel. Now, even if it is generated using AI, our intention and effort are still meaningful.
“Choosing a suitable design to give to someone; that feeling still comes from the heart, even if we use AI. AI is just a tool to realise what is in our hearts,” she told Bernama.
Nurul Syuhada Roslan, 27, said the digital method is not only more convenient but also allows users to design cards according to their own tastes while saving on delivery costs, especially when sending them to friends or family members who live far away.
“Traditions may change but the vibes are still there and with AI, the designs are no longer limited and become more interesting.
“The sincerity is still there, just like the effort of those who give Raya cards,” she said.
