"I warn you now, this is going to have unfortunate consequences, just as switching to living in suburbia and driving everywhere did." -- This is a really good comparison by pg. If anything, it will be a sneaky change in human behaviour for most people. Everything seems fine, and then you suddenly realize living without that AI "crutch" is simply too hard.

Would you be willing to explain how that comparison makes any sense at all? How is living in a city "too hard" for people in suburban and rural communities?

Here's an earlier tweet of his lamenting what has been taken away from children by the rising dominance of cars in society, a function of suburban living:

The growth of suburbs had plenty of drawbacks. Many people will argue they "need a car", aka the price of entry to modern society is thousands of dollars.
Transport is ~28% of US GHGs. But there's no quick and easy way to rebuild cities to facilitate most people getting to where they need to go quickly and cheaply by transit and walking/biking.
There's lots to say on it, but I'm not a great writer!
