I get where you are coming from, but it's still the best map application ever. Whenever I travel I download all the details for the country and am self-sufficient. Can't get lost or hungry. Everything is just there. Am willing to suffer a bit to keep that functionality. UI needs a big improvement though.
Grab an application called StreetComplete and start contributing. Little by little we'll get there and have awesome maps. Application asks simple questions like type of road or if bus station has a shelter, etc. Then uploads that to OSM.
StreetComplete is nice, but if the public transport profile in OsmAnd can't find a bus line, it's probably not because the bus stop is missing shelter information. To fix navigation issues, you'll probably have to edit map geometry, which has a higher barrier to entry: https://www.osmand.net/docs/user/navigation/routing/public-t...
The biggest problem in my head with AI generated code is that its mistakes are subtle but can still be critical. There will be a point where people don't understand generated code and just leave it unmodified allowing other code to pile up and depend on it. At that point you no longer have a bug, but a new feature. Also, AI doesn't grasp things on a big scale, just shits out output with highest score. This doesn't mean output is a great fit for your project or for upcoming plans.
Not only that. AI will have increasingly diminishing returns as it relies on good quality human written code. As that starts being less and less true, quality of generated code will also suffer since at some point AI will train from AI generated content.
In my eyes, it will be same as introduction of garbage collectors. It will help to a degree, make people more lazy along the way and cause some additional and brand new issues. But over all very little will change as for serious implementations human intellect is still going to be the primary actor and AI will be disallowed.
