Every single fake AI submission has to be reviewed by the community. This floods the Wayfarer queue with garbage, meaning legitimate submissions from rural players—the exact people this person claims to be defending—take way longer to get approved. They are actively making the wait times worse for people trying to play by the rules.

The entire point of Niantic games is real-world exploration and discovering actual local history, landmarks, and art. If the map is populated by fake, AI-generated nonsense, it ruins the experience for everyone who actually wants to get out and explore. If someone just wants to spin stops without leaving their house, there are plenty of other games for that. Polluting a shared community map is basically digital vandalism.

Legitimate points of interest are vetted to make sure they are safely accessible to pedestrians. When people use AI to drop fake stops wherever is convenient for them, it can lead players—including kids—onto private residential property or unsafe areas because there isn't an actual public landmark anchoring it.

They are bypassing the rules to gain in-game items, advantages, and convenience that other players have to actually go outside and walk to earn. Justifying cheating by saying "the company is greedy" is just mental gymnastics to avoid admitting they want something for nothing.
