"Oh, good prioritizing of topics.  Anybody who wants that to be a romantic conversation should probably get that in with me during the first week or two, before I get especially nostalgic or sad about something I didn't realize I'd miss.  Yeah, it's about as fantastic as you'd expect from a billion people with Intelligence 18 and enough money to spend on making stuff be variable and pretty.  I'm not even sure where to start.  Enormous buildings that go up into the sky for two hundred layers of living space?  We've got those.  Endless forests with houses you'd never notice, where all the roads are far enough underground that you can't even hear a murmur over the sounds of the forest, from the high-velocity automatic carriages moving people around at a mile a minute to their workplace or their friends houses?  Got that.  Wind pits a hundred meters on a side so people can fly around using small wings?  Got them.  Giant supershop that's fifty of these villas in radius, which ended up as the de facto selling point for everything in Civilization that's in common enough demand to need an exhibit and rare enough to not need many of them?  Got that.  Entire cities of actors that do nothing but play out unending elaborate fantasies that people can pay to wander into for a day or a year, complete with sex workers?  Got them.  It's basically what it seems to me you should expect from people with way more money and knowledge, and zero magic or gods.  Given the basic premise, I don't know what if any of that you'd find surprising."
