Could you build this?
Partial The UI and data pipeline (fetching OpenStreetMap tiles, rendering, an editing front end) are vibe-codeable, but training a conditional diffusion model that produces coherent maps needs ML expertise and GPU time.
What it would actually take: Build a data pipeline that pulls OSM features and rasterizes them into paired condition and target images. Train a conditional diffusion model (for example, a U-Net with ControlNet-style conditioning) on this paired data, then wrap it in a web UI for generation and editing. The hard part is the model training and tuning, which requires ML experience and access to GPUs.
