    I'm into more cities featuring Barbie pink in their development.

    2. Paris, France

    Why and when are we getting a second Eiffel Tower???

    3. Palm Springs, California

    I can't wait to see blue roads everywhere. I'm also partial to these classic cars which would, at this point, be 1,050 years old.

    4. New Orleans, Louisiana

    New Orleans is going to lean into a Thomas Kinkade aesthetic, I see.

    5. Barcelona, Spain

    Barcelona in the future, according to AI

    I desperately want to know what's in the cloud building. I bet it's, like, a City Hall or something.

    6. Dubai, UAE

    Now THAT is a skyline!

    7. New York City, New York

    I'm into these flying busses I see, but did we make the Empire State Building bigger?

    8. Las Vegas, Nevada

    This is exactly the neon I'd expect from Las Vegas. If this doesn't look like the bustling city of every futuristic video game, I don't know what does.

    9. Santa Fe, New Mexico

    Santa Fe in the future, according to AI

    We should definitely start planting trees on roofs. I'm not sure why we haven't started doing that already.

    10. Waikiki, Hawaii

    Waikiki in the future, according to AI

    There are so many people on the beach that you can't even see the majority of the sand.

    11. Los Angeles, California

    LA in the future

    It's sad to see in the future there is still traffic in LA.

    12. Sydney, Australia

    Sydney, Australia in the future, according to AI

    Someone in city planning said, "We need more opera house."

    13. London, England

    Future London, England

    Why is Big Ben wearing armor? I don't know, and I don't care to find out.

    14. Tokyo, Japan

    I like how Tokyo has leaned into cherry blossoms and made their whole city feel like it's in different shades of pink.

    15. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    Rio de Janeiro in the future, according to AI
    Audrey Engvalson / Midjourney

    It looks like a beautiful place to go for sunsets.

    16. Seattle, Washington

    Looks like we've got an even bigger Space Needle and neat walkways to get everywhere.

    17. Toronto, Ontario

    Toronto in the future, according to AI
    Audrey Engvalson / Midjourney

    The buildings look well-kept, but the city is in desperate need for road work.

    18. Finally, I asked the AI for a city in Antarctica in 3,000 AD because if you think we aren't going to have a city in Antarctica by then, you're kidding yourself.

    Looks quaint, but I'd rather take Palm Springs.

    If you have any name suggestions for our new Antarctic city, please write it in the comments below. Maybe in 1,977 years, people will come back to this list and take your suggestion.
