Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Auckland transport seems to be using AI art in their marketing newsletter

Gross. They have so many staff on roster that l make this exact style of souless corporate art and they still can’t be bothered using a human. I’m extra sick of seeing it because i work in a souless corporate office that spams the same yellow tinge ai art all over newsletters and puts it up on the wall.
I’m guessing we will be seeing a lot more of this sort of thing, if people are already using AI for work then it’s a lot cheaper than actually paying for stock images.
