I don’t automatically have a negative opinion about this, I would need more information before that. Did the terms of service allow for this?
It’s a fascinating case study on crowdsourcing data that is useful to this navigation technology, and reminds me of the first captchas that helped train OCR engines.

Yeah this is like 90% of all of Google’s business model. Captchas to train OCR or tag crosswalks, vehicles, etc. for other computer vision. GOOG-411 to train voice recognition for the Google assistant.

Google voice only makes sense as a data play too, for voicemail data.
