While researching my current column, I had trouble finding something PM Carney said in a speech in either Factiva or Google, so I tried asking ChatGPT-5 to search for it. This was its internal response.

It hallucinates in basic searches. It can't write truth. It can't copyedit. What is it good for?

The mayor of the US's most important city calling the president a despot and devoting a major section of his speech to tearing him apart is... Something else.

After reading more on this topic,
this is still 100 times less than anything I respect as a solution.
1% is literally less than the margin of error on a real solution.
Build a million homes or don't act like you care.

I'll let you in on a little secret.
Density is the only thing that will save us.
A million single family dwellings is infeasible and stupid.
