Among all the other reasonable, rational, sane, and absolutely 100% morally correct reasons why removing reo from NZ govt is stupid, this is the one that every Comms, TechWriter, Change, and Marketing professional has been bitching about. Rebranding is EXPENSIVE.
The uncertainty around how much it would cost to rebrand government departments
Such a change will require full rebranding operations at about a dozen government departments and could cost 'millions and millions'.

Like another great example is a techwriter asked it to "show me photos of Alex Franz" and it returned fucking AI-gen images of dudes with beards despite Alex Franz being the user asking the question and a woman.

Went by #CNN for a moment and how tf are people still listening to Kara Swisher? ESPECIALLY about Elon?
She's been doing PR for a whole bunch of Silicon Valley rich fascist creeps for years. She's bullshit or just blind, she's not really a techwriter, more a thinkpiece-pundit & that's useless

The ideal #techwriter has the same background knowledge as the reader, not more. Don't make the mistake of hiring a writer on the basis of their knowledge of the system they're documenting.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve said that technical writers have shitty tools, I’d have dozens of dollars by now. (Maybe I should raise my rates.) The problem isn’t the software that we use, it’s the tedious parts between the software.

For my techwriter job I used a digital book rack as an example of how to use kOS. I asked my tech illustrator to come up with 3 fake books for me to use. Here's what she gave me. Now I must write them. #writingcommunity

Non-manifold edges. NMEs. Enemies.
I think someone specifically started using the word "manifold" in that term because they knew what a pain those would be.
I'm ready to plunk down some cash for a Mac app that will fix #3D files with NMEs.
I will beta test & write docs. #3Dprinting #techwriter

As a TechWriter, I hope those who are in charge of making these illegitimate, anachronistic and inhumane content edits find their own ways to resist. Words matter.
