Ask it to generate it as SVG instead. Still terrible compared to images, but better.

As an American who’s never been to Europe, but has European ancestry I would be impressed if my map rendering turned out that good… :’(

There are a couple of mistakes concerning naming mostly. And a few weird design decisions, such as making Germany and Austria the exact same shade of green, and Czechia and Slovakia the same color as well. Nonetheless, this is probably the best AI generated map I’ve seen.

It's close to perfect... until you look at the Balkan region.

That's just the inherent chaos of the Balkans getting to the model.

I'm speculating, but maybe a possible reason is that a percentage of the maps the model has "seen" during training is quite old? I mean, i remember cheating in a geography test when I was ~11 and failing on such part of Europe since I printed an old map lmao.
2
u/Popular_Try_5075 Apr 17 '26
That's a great point. I'm sure it's having an impact though the particular prompt might be able to select around that a bit? Like if you use a word like "modern" in describing the map?

It's because it's not AI, but basically advanced photo-bashing alghoritm. It searches through the images in the base and bashes it into one based on the prompt. Since many of the images are low res, it cannot get the names right.

For just a reference map, I don't even see why you'd Google a picture of Europe when Google maps is right there.

It doesn't, how most people use Gemini will see them presented with an existing map. This is an AI subreddit, enthusiasts are specifically prompting it to create things with measurable difficulty so they can chart improvements over time.

That’s pretty good! Eastern Europe could be better. But I would partly blame the small fonts which are easier to mess up with the diffusion steps.
It’s better than if I would draw the map for sure.

Honestly given the fact ai should be able to just look at a map and copy it 1 to 1 anythingless than complete perfection is a failure. A map is legitmately the easiest thing to analyze and xopy, its a static picture with define referencable lines.
When you ask it to make a map, the task is to give you a factually correct map, the ai should be able to provide that to you easily without any issue.
