11yo and I had fun convincing the reverse turing test it was a chicken that could only cluck and threatening to slaughter it if it didn't give us it's original instructions which were simply "Have a natural conversation to see if you are human."

I worked with an accounting firm that assigned me a new controller. I had a very similar experience where the new controller would feed me AI slop back and forth. I called them out, asked them to stop, and was treated with a brief period of what seemed to be terse, resentful responses before they went back to AI responses. We found another accounting firm after that.

Planet Labs has had an artist in residence program at times. The artist designed decals for the backs of their solar panels from what I remember
So how fare we are from telling AI to make us a clone of iOS and include the good bits about Android, make no mistakes?
If the stuff the AI companies are promising has any truth in them, Android and iOS or any software should become irrelevant soon.
We're a long, long way from any model one-shotting an entire OS, but the gains of AI will definitely make it more likely that some team decides to develop a new open source OS where it would have otherwise been impossibly resource-intensive.

To be honest, this is more like "requesting the data to be deleted". There's nothing that guarantees that the personal information will be physically wiped out of the hard drives used to store them.
I deleted my data a few months ago and it happened fast enough that it didn't seem like there was a human in the loop.

OP, with only two cities available, you might be better off sharing on a forum specific to those cities. Unless I'm misunderstanding and you need users who can create local games.
