What on Earth was every the intended use of this feature? I just can’t think of any way to use it other than vandalism and misinformation.
It’s intended use was misinformation but perhaps not in the way you imagine.
Rather than producing credible images, these sorts of projects undermine actual credible images.
For example, if you’re team zion, then when shown images of how devastating Israel’s attack on Gaza has been you can just disregard them as “probably fake”.
“Oh pish posh, a child can create these images on google maps”.
