At least for the more fundamental information like paths or trails this is true. I only really get to map stuff when in holidays abroad, because here you have to check a 100 times if something is mapped to find a handful of chances to contribute anything, which has a frustrating feel to it 😅
Yes. But the more advanced LLMs get, the less it matters in my opinion. I mean of you have two boxes, one of which is actually intelligent and the other is “just” a very advanced parrot - it doesn’t matter, given they produce the same output. I’m sure that already LLMs can surpass some humans, at least at certain disciplines. In a couple years the difference of a parrot-box and something actually intelligent will only merely show at the very fringes of massively complicated tasks. And that is way beyond the capability threshold that allows to do nasty stuff with it, to shed a dystopian light on it.
I think with that OP referenced a city close to where they live
What is green, or open or reclaimed about this? Let alone all of these?
Yes I know it, and sometimes use it for a little. But the vast majority of things it presents to complete to me feel rather unimportant. My leisure time isn’t exactly plenty, and then I rather do other things I see more value in. Even surface type is mapped most of the time, and I don’t take the effort to map surface quality because it is not used for anything. Maybe I’ll make an App at some point that infers surface quality automatically while road biking from the acceleration sensor in the phone mounted to the handlebar…
