23 Examples Of AI Being Dumb When It Comes To Making Maps
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.

It covers and area of 1,877,778 km2 or nearly 8x the size of the UK or 2.5x the size of Texas.
It’s so big that makes up about one-fifth of Canada’s total land area.
