A Christmas banner will be removed from Redfern Station after observers raised concerns that the artwork was AI-generated.
The banner, erected between platforms 10 and 11 of the station, depicted an Australian Christmas scene with Santa Claus on the beach in board shorts and thongs, surrounded by a group of native animals.

More than 3,000 people liked a post on Reddit’s r/sydney forum that described the banner as “AI bullshit.”
Subjects identified with the banner included a koala with a kangaroo body and a rodent with severed limbs. Credit:…
