I agree that human wisdom is critical to high quality, and AI isn't useful if, at the end of the process, it doesn't produce quality output, but I will challenge this statement: "you can have high quality without AI." I don't think that's definitively true for a global map. It's very difficult to keep something at that scale that is constantly changing up to date, and while OSM is very high quality in some areas, human mappers have not been able to produce high quality maps worldwide. Corporations that use traditional survey techniques also have a lot of difficulty even while spending $$$ (and many if not all of them are also using AI). AI can augment human mapping in ways to make scale more manageable, and I think both will be needed to make a worldwide high quality map.
