How hard can it be to draw the country you live in? You might expect it to be a cinch, but you’d be wrong. Premier Inn asked 144 Brits to draw the British Isles from memory, and the maps they produced range from the surprisingly accurate to the bafflingly incorrect.
All 144 amateur maps are below for your amusement, but you may want to prepare yourself for just how wrong they are. The majority of people didn’t even remember to draw all five nations of the British Isles on their maps, making for some lumpy landmasses that would get a kid kicked out of geography class if they drew them.
That’s not all, though. Premier Inn then trained an AI to draw its own map of the British Isles based on these memory maps, and as you may have already figured out, the results didn’t exactly come out great. Wales will be up in arms, that’s for certain.
