Hot take: My route got changed by a new AI mapping tool and it was a disaster

The system tried to optimize for distance but ignored a huge hill and a school zone, adding 90 minutes to my day. Has anyone else seen AI make a 'smart' choice that was actually really dumb in practice?

Yeah, that "smart" choice thing is everywhere now (like with my thermostat).

That's a 90 minute hill, wow. It's not just about distance, right? Like violar35 said, these systems miss the obvious stuff all the time.

Wait, a NINETY minute hill? That's insane lol. The AI just saw a shorter line on a map and sent you straight up a mountain. It's like they forget real people have to drive on real roads with stuff like traffic and, you know, gravity. My old GPS tried to put me through a flooded underpass once because it was "faster." These systems have no common sense at all.
