I agree. Part of OSMs future is using automatic imports and AI specificially as well. Quality problems can be solved when they occurr. We managed to maintain a map with higher quality data than Google. Why also not repeating the story with automated edits and AI?<br><br>I feel that some OSM members are rather old-fashioned about automated edits and AI than modern and looking forward in using modern technology for the good of humankind as we previously did and do with OSM. But that opt out stands as a wall and preventing that.<br><br>Another fact: Not only a single person edits an object but multiple users do. So complying with wishes from individual users lead to inequality of data since the tag the user touched is blocked for changes made by automated edits (applies to all tags world wide the user touched and get altered by the automated edit). It leads to inequality because all other objects surrounding the object the user touched having the same tags in question get altered. This is like having a B in a field of many As' and when it comes to e.g. replacing Key:diaper with Key:changing_tables and an user does not want this to happen on Key:diaper tags they added it leads to that apps like Babykarte dropping support for Key:diaper going to ignore the tag the user added. This is because how a developer is going to thing: Why should I support Key:diaper because only this one user things that the automated edit which made my live and the lives of others easier would had their work destroyed? A developer is definitely going to say, I will simply ignore Key:diaper completely and only support the newer Key:changing_table . This decision leads of course to not displaying changing table information on this single object because of lack of support for Key:diaper.<br><br>Do you really want single users to prevent/slowing down the future as the German party CDU/CSU does? German politics as exercised by CDU/CSU work in the way of slowing down future as long as "old people" not open to changes happening to their surroundings are pleased. There is a reason why young people like me do not vote for CDU/CSU. We should not act like Berlin, we should be open but also critical to new technology, learning to use it and then make it to help us by setting up our own guidelines and standards or adapting existing ones (perhaps with modifications to it).<br><br>Cheer you all<br><br>Sören Reinecke alias Valor Naram<div class="quote" style="line-height: 1.5"><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>Subject: [OSM-talk] Remove opt-out from Automated Edits code of conduct<br>From: Mateusz Konieczny via talk <talk@openstreetmap.org><br>To: OSM Talk <talk@openstreetmap.org><br>CC: <br><br><br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><html>
