Easier said than done.

Mapping is a very unique issue with a whole distinct set of mathematics whose is purpose is to try to make it easier, https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/discrete-mathematics-tutorial/#:~:text=Discrete%20Mathematics%20is%20a%20branch,logic%2Dbased%20statements%2C%20etc.

In addition to that, we've already seen AI school bus routes that had kids riding a bus until 9pm. https://fortune.com/2023/08/16/louisville-jefferson-school-bus-alpharoute-tech-firm-ohio-cincinnati/

Plainly put, having an AI that can understand districting and create districts based abstract ideas like "equal fairness" is quite difficult :(

I’d rather folks working on AI focus on stuff like making mapping better than on to better ways of ripping off artists and writers.
