I was waiting for the MRT last night, and while I was waiting I'm also browsing some stuff for me to buy online... when a splash of pink on the platform doors got my attention. It was a poster, loud and playful, and really funny LOL. Starring a very enthusiastic white cat wearing a judge’s wig and holding a shiny gavel. The cat had the kind of big round eyes that make you grin back without thinking. I'm used to the usual designs of posters at an MRT platform and so this new one really weirds me out :D. I made me wonder why this one get's approved by the management of the station.
The whole poster was funny and catchy. There is something engaging about the mismatch of a serious courtroom outfit on a fluffy cat like this. The curls of the wig, the polished gavel, even the little frilled collar look really well done, and the background filled with products they are selling. I could see other people noticing it too. You know that moment when a stranger and you share the same small smile without saying a word. That was the mood this poster created.
Looking closely, I can tell that the image was made with AI. The textures were so clean, the fur so evenly lit, and the expression so perfectly timed that anyone could tell that it's not a photograph. Whether it is a full AI creation or a really good blend of illustration, 3D, and AI, I am impressed. Tools like these used to feel experimental. Now they are everywhere, brightening a train platform or into a grocery aisle... basically they are everywhere.
That is the most interesting part for me. AI has come a long way, and it is becoming part of the daily life so smoothly that we often only notice it when we pause and really look. It helps by telling us the route for our rides, cleans up our phone photos, writes quick captions, translates signs, and recommends the next song for the walk home. And then one day a judge cat on a poster makes you realize that creative work is part of that trend too.
I think this will keep accelerating. The quality will improve until most of us cannot tell which elements are AI assisted and which are handcrafted. We will become more dependent on these systems, not in a dramatic way, but through a thousand tiny conveniences that add up. Whether we like it or not, AI will be part of the tools we use to work, learn, travel, and even to laugh at a platform ad.
So adapting feels important. Not chasing every new trend, but getting comfortable with the basics, asking better questions, and learning how to blend our own taste with what the tools can do. It is still our judgment that decides what story to tell. The poster reminded me that judgment is the human piece worth keeping sharp even as the tech gets smarter.
In the end, my train arrived and the moment passed, but I left lighter than I came. A silly cat in a wig turned a plain wait into a small reflection about how fast the world moves and how we can move with it. If you spot this kind of poster on your commute, give yourself a second to enjoy it. Smile at the absurdity. Notice the craft. And maybe take it as a gentle reminder to stay curious about the tools shaping our everyday life, from the city streets to the spaces between them.
