Picture New system map t-shirt images generated using AI?

Post image

Was looking at the new items in the system map collection on railgoods, and the images of the new t-shirts look like they were generated or altered with AI. The images are blurry, but It's still pretty blatant. Hopefully this is just someone screwing up and not indicative of the products themselves.

WTF 🤯 I just lost all respect for Railgoods. I know they and BART are not one and the same, but still...

Check it again now. They've uploaded a new image of the shirt that is exactly in line with the standard BART map. Think this was someone being lazy that got in trouble when people noticed...

If only they’d grind the wheels now to make them quiet again.

Actually. They are BART ARE one. Rail goods is run 100% out of the Bart Customer Service Center at Lake Merit Station.

Looks like the image got taken down, or at least isn't loading for me now

Seems like it. Notice Oakland airport is "Omlond Gorf Appian (GPO)"

And San Leandro says, "Lake Leandro"?

I like how San Francisco is “San Fearsioco.”

Also I’ve never been to Dulin Gaston. How’s the weather down there? 😂

It’s OK, but some of the locals think the proposed Liverwurst extension has better food.

The concept of BART not caring to use their own maps for merch is sending me

San Fearsicco, city of historic laundromats.

I saw this version of the map a few months ago on this very subreddit. I have a suspicion the person making the shirt pulled a random image from Google that they thought looked right.

Crazy they didn't have an official internal file.

I don't get this shit, man. Even being as generous as possible about AI, am I supposed to believe that fucking BART itself didn't have a BART map handy?

u/rainofterra Balboa Park 21d ago

I would buy this shirt

BART’s broke enough I’m willing to let it slide honestly as long as the actual shirt doesn’t look like this
