Austinites are roasting an AI-generated map of the Capital City after spotting a long list of glaring errors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone who creates maps for a living, I\u2019m relieved to see that I still have a few more paychecks until A.I. renders me unemployed,\u201d the Reddit user who shared the image<\/a> wrote. \u201c(Trigger warning: slop-maxxing.)\u201d<\/p>\n

The map appears to have originated from Facebook user Maverick Khan<\/a>, whose page features similarly styled maps of cities and regions around the world. Each post includes a disclosure above the caption identifying it as \u201cAI content.\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents quickly piled into the Reddit comments to point out the map’s many mistakes.<\/p>\n

Among the biggest complaints: The Domain, Austin’s popular shopping and entertainment district, and Circuit of the Americas appear to sit along Lady Bird Lake, while Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is shown just across from Barton Springs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always wondered how people can find Barton Springs relaxing with airplanes taking off \u00bc mile down the street,\u201d one Reddit user wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others noticed the University of Texas had seemingly vanished altogether.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently, there is a ‘y\u2019in Del Valle?\u201d another wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLove how South Austin is just not [expletive] there [expletive],\u201d one Reddit user wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Austinites are roasting an AI-generated map of the Capital City after spotting a long list of glaring errors.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-376727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
