One of the funniest things in urbanism is the constant desire to create "our cities high line" instead of something novel and contextual.

The high line works because its in manhattan folks, not because it was just any random elevated structure.

I do think to some substantial effect the downplaying of what the LLMs can do *does* come back to a lot of people being nervous and finding comfort in going "But it can't really do anything and just lies a bunch".

An imperfect technology as with all, worried that people will be caught off guard.
