The biggest problem I have with this idea comes from my recent experiences over the past few days with GPT-3.5 in particular.

Things like not being able to remember last responses or prompts, just making up facts, or data being outdated (September 2021 for GPT-3.5) and needing to be updated. Until issues like that are less of an issue, I don't foresee being actually usable for cities or really anything outside of maybe just generating nonsense or random code snippets.

Also, I have concerns you'd see this being taken and used against minorities to discriminate against them. Whether that's intentional or not I can't say.

Based on the sparse information in the article, they're training the model based on actual data points, not just feeding the data in human-readable format to a LLM.
