The same things that constrain LLMs will end up limiting human thought. AI scientists have been saying that a lack of a "world model" severely prohibits the ability of these tools to understand reality. If LLMs become the primary means of information, humans will inherit the same deficiency.

I don't think the Mayor of New York has much influence on nuclear power buildouts or licensing. Is someone proposing that a greenfield nuclear reactor be built within NYC city limits?
