I’m personally a big fan of AI and frequently use it to analysis data, transcribe and translate and even help write map explainers.
But one thing AI still can’t seem to do is make good (or accurate) maps from scratch as the following 20 examples all show.
Most of the following maps come from @ChatgptLunatics aka AI being dumb (follow them for more AI related humour).
And while I didn’t personally create any of the maps below (or more accurately enter the prompts that made them), they very much reflect my own experience using AI to try and create maps.

More Terrible Maps
London Walking Route Map
This London walking route map showing 3 Tower Bridges (all in the wrong place and only one of which is next to the Thames), St. Paul’s and the London Eye on the wrong side of the Thames and so, so many spelling mistakes.

The map above was created using Nano Banana.

“Largest religion in Europe. ”
This map is full of errors. It is obviously created by a Muslim. Christianity is Europe ‘s biggest religion, at least as regards to numbers.
So please correct hhis map.
I am looking forward to the correct edition.
Yours faithfully,

Yeah AI is dumb but these types of human generated maps also use star-crescent as symbol of Islam, that would be deeply disputed and refuted by any Arab or Muslim cleric in general. That is an imperial symbol coming from the Ottoman Empire, a Turkic state, and nothing to do with Islam in general.
