🍊🌿 Do You Have a Tree Laden with Fruit? 🌿🍋

As I drive through Orewa and the neighbouring suburbs, I see so many beautiful trees full of fruit—lemons, mandarins, oranges, and more.

If you have one of these in your garden and more produce than you can use, we’d love to help you share the extra with local families and community groups who would truly appreciate it.

We can pick and pick up—it’s easy, it’s local, and it makes a real difference. 💚

Artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are here to stay - the question now is, how will they shape the future? Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?

Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.

We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?
