In Western countries, yes.

- hammock 4y agoCities*
- crooked-v 4y agoIn the US, the top 100 cities alone make up over 50% of the total population.
- numtel 4y agoWhere'd you find that stat? > The total 2020 enumerated population of all [331] cities over 100,000 is 96,598,047, representing 29.14% of the United States population (excluding territories) From: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities...
- HWR_14 4y agoThe 50% stat is talking about metro areas, not city boundaries. That is, what people on the ground would use to describe in a city vs. the legal borders. So, for instance, Greater Los Angeles has more than 18 million people by itself, where your source lists it as under 4 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles

- senectus1 4y agoWith a globalized world we're (all humans, not us specifically) all gonna end up a nice tan color.
- reducesuffering 4y agoIf there's no more Japanese, Nigerian, Irish, etc. anymore, then that doesn't sound like diversity to me. It sounds like homogeneity.
- senectus1 4y agothere is more to diversity than the colour of our skin, but yes I would expect the more we're all crowding in on this mudball with lots of free travel between boarders or bluring of borders the more we're going to all end up looking much like each other. Space may change that. we may end up with some very strange looking sections of humanity once we get into space.

- laingc 4y agoThanks for compiling this data. Where did you get it from?
- hammock 4y agoSend your thanks to chatgpt :) Here are the sources- US: US Census Bureau UK: Office for National Statistics South Africa: Statistics South Africa India: Census of India China: National Bureau of Statistics of China Peru: National Institute of Statistics and Informatics
- refulgentis 4y agoWait what
- hammock 4y ago?
- refulgentis 4y agoWith wolfram alpha, or another plugin, I hope? You posted insanely detailed statistics and cited an LLM solo
- hammock 4y agoYeah i literally just said "give me the specific stats about ethnic makeup of urban/rural and how theyve changed in a few different countries from 1990-2020. what is your source for this data. put the data in a text-based table format"
- kevviiinn 4y agoI've used chatgpt in a research context numerous times and I always ask for sources and double check the sources. When asked for numbers most of the time it makes them up, when citing sources it also makes up titles of papers and DOIs. It's highly likely the information you got is entirely false
