User: "Please give me the three fastest routes, with each answer weighted by different criteria"

Computer: "Okay, here you go."

User: "Two of these are slower than the third, you stupid piece of shit, I hate you."

Every time Picard asks Data a question.

This is Apple Maps.

Apple Maps doesn’t just recommend the fastest routes, it also appears to push the most popular routes as alternatives.

Here is the San Francisco area to LA in iOS 18. The longer route might seem insane if you’re not familiar with the drive, but that longer route is much prettier, and a lot of people intentionally drive in the coastal road for the views.

Edit: Weird. Lemmy isn’t loading the picture for me. All in all, this is a map of I5 to LA vs the Hyw 101 to LA. I5 is 2 hours faster, but it’s a long brown valley, it smells like cow shit, and you’re bombarded with homemade MAGA signs for several hours. It’s a drive of hate, farts, and truck stop food. 101 longer, but it’s recommended for redwoods forests and cute little beach towns.

California is ridiculous. I'm from San Francisco, was visiting LA and someone asked me where I lived. I pointed to 101 and said, turn left on that road and keep going for 8 hours.

Edit: sorry, "the 101". When in Rome, etc

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

CA’s a long boi

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, you correct. My mistake, sorry about that. I fixed it.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Why is the title "Thanks, Google"? Isn't that Apple Maps?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

You are indeed correct. My mistake, sorry about that. I fixed it.

It is. Apple Maps recommends a combo of the fastest and most popular routes. Sometimes the popular routes are shown as options because they’re nicer.

This goes through Bend Oregon, home of the last Blockbuster on Earth. That’s a solid recommendation IMHO.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I spent a month in Bend and never knew about the blockbuster, I mean I learned about it a year later 🫤

Tell me you're not on a motorcycle without telling me you're not on a motorcycle

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In my experience many recreational motorcyclists specifically seek out curvey roads as they are fun. Am I missing something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OPs post says they hate turning. Hence my comment

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

That wasn't saecasm at all

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fewer turns? I am almost positive there are two sections of switchbacks across two mountain passes in that 'alternate' route.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Turns as in intersections where you need to turn I guess.

catering to the racing demo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Idk are races not meant to go the fastest?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

A couple weeks ago I had to travel for work and I picked the longer one because I got paid for more miles and it meant I would get back right at the end of the day so I wouldn't have to do anything else that afternoon. Also on that 2 hour drive I think I saw 5-6 cars for the first 3/4 of it which was pretty great.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm surprised that works. At my job they make us put in the origin and destination and will only pay the mileage for the shortest route.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I'm guessing they have a job like mine, where a driving trip is a relatively rare occurrence and micromanaging the travel isn't worth it to mitigate the risk of paying out a little more.
