For over a year Google Maps changed my street name to something like (Actual Street Name) (Name of street far from mine).
Every time I had to reschedule a package delivery I found myself more cynical about AI.
You can't work around GIGO.
- mjevans 10y agoThe GIGO is caused by our antiquated addressing scheme. I very much would like for 'street names' to cease existing. Instead label intersections by (slightly) rounded GPS co-ordinates. Also yes, the 'intersection' of a building and one or more roads is a subordinate intersection.
- khedoros1 10y agoI can't tell you how much I hate that idea. Humans should always come before machines. Numerical street designations would be unusable for anything but automated transportation, with the exception of cities laid out in regular grids and numbered with small integers. That is: completely impractical for anywhere that I'd actually want to live.
