#OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM is @joost_schouppe.

If the name sounds familiar to you, it might be for many reasons. It could be for his past involvement as OpenStreetMap Foundation #OSMF board member, for leading the Belgian community chapter, or being a very active mapper.

Interesting paper from #MDPI about “Mapping with #ChatGPT” concludes it delivers unique advantages, such as:
- lowering the barrier to producing maps
- boosting the efficiency of massive map production
- and understanding geographical space with its spatial thinking capability.

Limitations cited are:
- its unequal benefits for different users (need to have some expertise already)
- and necessary user intervention for quality control.
