I don't think that ML = bot mapping. At least this is not what I would like to use ML techniques for. And I also don't think this is in any close to the spirit of OSM. Please let me clarify, that I definitively don't want to insult anybody! This is a respectful and humble request to bring us together in an open and argumentative conversation. > Could you by the way explain the term "automated statistics" - i had not > heard this before and a quick search returns a lot of uses of this term > in the context of database systems, which i however have the impression > is not what you are talking about.

For me "automated statistics" for most cases seems to be a good way to refer to what others call nowadays AI. Because it describes closer to what is happening there. I'm really not a big fan of hyped buzzwords. An Artificial Intelligence - which deserves the term - in my opinion has not been achieved at all. I'm looking forward to interesting conversations.
