Russ, your experience seems to be worse than my worst experience. That area west of Phetburi was the worst part. Another almost such bad area was near Surat Thani (also such an AI import).
My impression is that for you the most important point is the “unpaved issue” too, i.e. roads which should have the “surface=unpaved” tag (or rather “highway=track”) but don’t.
That issue occurred to me far more often that last year, i.e. before the AI imports.
The “residential issue” does not exist for me on bike, my map style renders unclassified and residential equally.
Because I know that things look different for other vehicles, I improve the data when I see such issues while integrating my data collected on ground. But let’s also not forget that there are some other mappers who use residential far too often.
But I must also say that the other some 2000 km were not such bad. As I’ve just started integrating my data, I cannot yet tell the reason - I could have preferred roads mapped by other means, cycled in region where the AI team hasn’t started work yet, where things were easier for their algorithms, …
If it turns out that the bad experience is typical for their quality, also I’d vote for a revert.
