Chile's government published a map of towns in wrong places, likely AI-generated
PolarBearby · x · 2026-09-19
Chile's Ministry of Public Works (MOP) released a tourist map for the Desierto Florido that placed Huasco where Vallenar should be, and mislocated Carrizal Bajo and Freirina. The ministry pulled it and uploaded a correction — but Vallenar was still missing from the fixed version. The takeaway: AI mistakes are expected, but a public institution publishing geographic info without catching such glaring errors is the real problem.
