Description

@denironyx

Goal:

Quantify the impact and growth rate of AI-assisted editing in OSM by tracking the adoption of the RapiD editor.

Description: RapiD (developed by Meta) represents a significant shift in OSM mapping by integrating AI-generated features. We need to analyze how its footprint has changed over time compared to traditional editors like iD or JOSM.

Tasks:

  • Isolate RapiD Signatures: Use the LIKE '%rapid%' normalization logic to create a dedicated time-series for this editor.

  • Growth Metrics: Compare the year-over-year (YoY) growth of RapiD changesets against the general growth of OSM changesets.

  • Edit Impact: Calculate the average num_changes per changeset for RapiD vs. non-AI editors to see if AI assistance leads to higher-volume edits.

  • Visualization: Generate a trend line showing RapiD's market share since its release.
