It's a marketing article with nearly zero actual facts. One screenshot about the actual product.

MS and others already use AI for drawing building countours for OpenStreetMap and OvertureMaps from aerial imagery. In osm these AI generated lines are only allowed to be imported after a human supervision and currently it's very hit or miss. On low density areas it's mostly good, but in dense city centers it's unusable.

In overture maps these lines are imported automatically, that's why you can see buildings on rivers.

They don't write about these shortcomings in the article, and how they solved AI hallucinations

I love when little fiefdoms talk about democratizing things.
