   Google Maps just dropped a new feature using AI to add crossings. It's an imperfect step in the right direction.

   The #OpenStreetMap community knows mapping these features with AI is a challenge. We do a fantastic job with this working by hand! If you prefer the image on the right to the image on the left, consider helping us!

     @thompsondt Google has been using AI for ages, and the disastrous results can be seen in the left image. Buildings that clip into each other or the street. Ten years ago, it wasn't like that.
