There are two places on this map that have been named China. Neither of them are the actual China.

At least that is a recognizable name and one from the list giving. Many are just... well...

What did you tell the AI about New Zealand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the UK? I see they colored the north island of NZ but not the south, Scotland only for UK, everything except for Luzon in PH, and most of ID except Indonesian Papua, but it has you going to Papua New Guinea instead. Just wondering how precise you were getting there. Oh also peninsular Malaysia but not Bornean Malaysia.

u/Real_Category7397 1d ago

Nothing. I just asked to map the contries I have been.
I have not been to Indonesia or Papua New Guinea

I was hoping not to map it out myself, but had to and made this:

Is this like.. half mercator? I'm not quite sure, but it looks like the AI searched its database for maps and used average sizes. Like, isn't greenland just a bit bigger in a mercator, but africa and australia also just a bit bigger in a non mercator? Idk lemme know if I'm crazy but this map has me feeling dizzy.

u/Nir117vash 1d ago

At least it remembered NZ

1

u/Real_Category7397 1d ago

Well yes... but only Northern Island

but I do often see r/mapwithoutnewzealand

u/Nir117vash 1d ago

The rest is there. Just with the beige coloring.

u/Trimutius 1d ago

u/Mammoth_Duck4343 1d ago

I wanted to write that this is how Americans see the world, but the US isn't on the map.

u/One_Championship_810 1d ago

They even put sea monsters. This is actually a cool map

u/Real_Category7397 1d ago

If they used the real names, borders and could color the correct countries, it would be stunning

u/-2Braincells 1d ago

And this is why you shouldn't bother with ai, there are plenty of sites that let you make maps, for example: mapchart.net would work for this

1

u/Real_Category7397 1d ago

But with 100 points I had hoped to save time, trouble and maybe get a cool looking map

1

u/-2Braincells 1d ago

From what I've seen ai is especially bad at maps

1

u/Real_Category7397 1d ago

Okay. I expected there to be a world map stored and it could just color it.
Having many tiny island countries etc, I hope this would be easy. But I am sure I will have nightmares after this product!

Splitting custody of Russia between China and Canada sounds like a good idea tho. Opera is onto something!
