Bad AI Maps - Part 2

I’ve been going deeper into the AI map rabbit hole. Here are a few more maps. The first two are from an image generating site called Craiyon. The prompt for this first map is World map with good countries in green and bad countries in red. 

While trying to generate my own map Craiyon suggested this US map highlighting 20 Ab InBev breweries, with St. Louis and New York marked. There’s well over 20 “AB” symbols on this map but you might spot a few other inaccuracies here.

Starryai is another image generator. This shows up as one of their featured maps and is a very strange mashup of history, highly altered geography and hallucinated text.

The geography bears little relation to Gettysburg, the battle information is dubious at best and most items on the legend are not on the map. Even as a fantasy map it doesn’t work well because much of the text is unreadable.

A post on Medium shows how bad a job Midjourney, a popular image generator is at creating a map of Ontario. The geographic similarity is none.

I’ve previously heard rave reviews of Midjourney’s ability to create fantasy maps. That influence is pretty clear in the above attempt. Clearly it is a lot better at fantasy than reality.

Here is one supposedly created by Gemini proving that White Europeans are in fact Caucasians.

Finally, here is another Crayon creation. This one shows the national dish of each country with flags representing some interesting territorial claims. Some of the far eastern countries are left hanging, off the edge of the planet.

In a future post I will show some of my own attempts at using these generators.
