I would say it doesn't advocate the position as well as a good human debater would, for example the idea of building "playgrounds or parks" on highways doesn't make much physical sense, and there is nothing indicates it has an understanding of the obvious problems like talking about how cars could be routed around a small playground built in the middle of it. Also a human faced with such a ridiculous proposition might well add some kind of twist, like talking about the environmental benefits of decommissioning highways so that cars no longer can drive on them, or even some black humor about the benefits of honing children's reflexes as they dodge cars, but ChatGPT never really seems capable of this kind of lateral thinking.
