    Won’t trust the AI powered routing. Likely to fuck up and put you somewhere that you’ll get hurt.

      I’d give it a try. It’s probably a very basic suggestion algorithm that is just being labeled AI because why not, AI is the new Metaverse so everything gotta have AI in it to make it flashy.

      That’s what this paragraph seems to indicate:

      Strava says every activity is now automatically analysed by a machine learning model, which looks at 57 different factors, such as speed and acceleration.

      They properly call it Machine Learning, meaning that this is probably old school supervised techniques instead of LLMs so it means it’s just a glorified linear regression. Should be fine.

        Well I tried computer suggested routes from other programs and ended up on a 100 series highway (somewhere where bikes shouldn’t be) because I didn’t check it beforehand.

        Don’t trust computers to create a route.

          Not saying “trust”, I’m saying “might be interesting, evaluate it”.

          I find Beeline quiet routes generally pretty likeable, so I do give them a try from time to time.

      So can normal maps, there were so many stories of people driving off cliffs or into lakes when gps was new. Always be aware of your surroundings.
