   Capitalist dystopias like Dubai, and tons of sad architectures and infrastructures that costed millions to never deliver that 'greenery utopias', but made a lot of archistars and real estate investors very rich through money that could have been invested in maybe smaller but more accessible infrastructure for the people who live in those places.
   Thanks to generative AI, that kind of deceptive communication is entering scientific visualisation. I can't stress enough how bad this is.

     One day I should write an essay of all the problems I had with imaginary 3D architecture renderings that populated the internet and where happily published by journals promoting almost 'unbuildable' buildings as these masterpieces of #design while they were just PR for capitalist futuristic utopias. When they were full of greenery of trees that somehow could root on a 30-cm-thickness roof, they were celebrated as 'sustainable architecture', 'sustainable cities' and what not. The results?
