Another Love

Stability. How alluring you sound; Many long to remain in your embrace. For in your steady arms, The whispers of judgement grow silent. Quiet, familiar, safe.

ButI’msorry… Another lover occupies my mind.

Fluidity. How enchanting you were; A temptress to the human soul. So independent, so compelling, so exhilarating. But past lovers have scorned your name, You'llgodowntogether, they said.

Isitfoolish, To follow one’s love?

How lonely the path least trodden, How daunting the mass of the mountain climbed. But what if the view at the top was so beauteous, That all doubts would cease?

On an island once called home I lay, The lullaby of silence I hear. The dance of the Pacific waves I marvel. Fluid,yetstable. My love, I have found.

Another Love is a poem I wrote portraying the difficulty of deciding a future career and life path. Through personifying stability and fluidity as different lovers, I aimed to emphasise the intimate emotions such words can perspire within the minds of an individual. Stability is described as someone who society views as an ideal partner, safe and familiar. Whilst fluidity is portrayed as a carefree and dangerous lover. The final stanza depicts a Pacific, coastal environment, which encourages the reader to imagine the gentle movement of ocean waves. I found travelling to such places cleared my mind of doubt and allowed me to realise what I truly wanted in life. This scenery was the inspiration for our latest Cruise 2023 collection Laguna, which sources fabric that mimics the movement of an ocean wave and our affinity for neutrals. Coupled with tropical hues such as orange, green and blue. Whether we wholesale a piece or design from scratch, The Introverted always ensures that the quality and fit of the garment coincides with its cost. By sharing our small brand to the wider Australian community, we hope that one day it will grow into a company that continues to produce high quality pieces all over the world.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a topic of discussion in many industries, including journalism. Some view AI as the future of journalism, while others believe that it threatens job security of human journalists. So, how are news organizations using AI and automated content generation, and what does this mean for the future of journalism as a profession?

Let's start with the basicswhat even is AI? Is it like R2-D2 from Star Wars? Well, not exactly. AI refers to computer programs able to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. So, while we may not have droids like R2-D2 roaming the newsroom just yet, we do have some pretty cool technology at our fingertips.

News organisations are increasingly relying on AI to automate various tasks such as fact-checking, data analysis, and content curation. And let's face it, machines are better than humans at some of these things. They don't get tired, they don't need coffee breaks, and they don't make spelling errors (usually). But can a robot really capture the nuances of a story that a human can? Can they feel the passion of a journalist who's spent hours on a piece?

I doubt it.
