Don't even understand what this AI feature was even supposed to be for. I'm certainly not going to rely on an AI to annotate satellite imagery. This was always just a stupid marketing thing with no real purpose behind it.

For all of Google's faults, which of course are numerous, they do have some really talented engineers working for them, and it's just a shame that their time is constantly wasted on crap like this rather than on useful features that people would actually benefit from.
