That's not how I am reading it. You will get a road built exactly to your spec, quickly. So no penguin crossings unless you ask for them.

I am also not entirely sure how the pothole argument translates.

The road will be built to some specs, including features nobody asked for. If the corpus was trained for roads built in Arctic, you will get penguin crossings.
