what the Matrix glitches should have been like https://twitter.com/haydencd/status/1296139290536116224?s=20
Apparently a bunch of the flight simulator glitches are because they used machine learning to infer height data i.e. using roof furniture to figure out if something's a skyscraper or a shopping mall.

I wonder what locations would end up the most cursed. https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/17/meet-the-startup-that-helped-microsoft-build-the-world-of-flight-simulator/
Meet the startup that helped Microsoft build the world of Flight Simulator

Microsoft’s new Flight Simulator is a technological marvel that sets a new standard for the genre. But to recreate a world that feels real and alive and contains billions of buildings all in the...

Others agree: Microsoft Flight Simulator can't even with Greenland

The Microsoft Flight Simulator AI is trying its best to fill in vertical information, but "water is flat" is evidently not an insight it has available.

Microsoft Flight Simulator AI includes traffic patterns, but gets confused sometimes about where to put the cars vertically.

People commenting on thallada's video have pointed out this is a building in Boston that normally has a road tunneling through it.

My favorite is this pair where the bridges of London are underwater, but the good people of London just keep driving across them.

The Microsoft Flight Simulator AI has done weird things to the area around the north pole. Feydakin_G, who took this screenshot, reports there's a strange repulsion force preventing players from getting near the ground at the geographic north pole.

Microsoft Flight Simulator's AI has given northwest Iowa a Grand Canyon. The traffic router doesn't that the terrain AI has seriously messed up the roads, so the locals just keep driving.

What appears to be a persistent water level bug in the Microsoft Flight Simulator AI has inverted the Pingualuit impact crater into a weird mesa.

The Melbourne Monolith is now MSFS2020's most famous landmark. People are hurrying to complete the Monolith Challenge, a successful landing on the roof of the 212-story glitch, before it's patched out of existence.

There's no way AI can devise an accurate 3D model from satellite imagery, so people are crowdsourcing hand-modeled landmarks.

An add-on can now convert Stonehenge from spinal tap to full size.

What I would like to see are Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons that AMPLIFY the weirdness. Give me a slider that goes from normal to Ragnarok. Floating mountains, sideways valleys, strange monoliths. Traffic doggedly traversing the fractured landscape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=19&v=mamTMPZwnyg&feature=emb_logo
At high level-of-detail NYC's skyline looks great. At the lower detail settings it looks... ominous
