And since it sounds like Facebook dumped the unverified AI output into OSM for humans to check, then import=yes doesn't sound unreasonable (although it might have been better as a changeset tag rather than an object tag). Would something like AI_assisted have been better? Maybe. Would a changeset tag have been better? Maybe. Is there any point locking the stable door now the horse has bolted? No. Can we persuade Facebook to do it any differently in the future? I have my doubts, and I expect Facebook horses will keep bolting because they never lock the stable doors. -- Paul
