The OpenStreetMap Ops Team has a special offer for AI companies: for a modest donation to the OpenStreetMap project, the donor company will receive a direct download link to OSM data in a machine-friendly format.
Not entirely sure it’s a good thing to be teaching ai directions atm but via donations I can understand why that was a decision.
I think the Ops Teams is a bit funny here. Because you can already always download the whole planet file incl. history since ever. AI should use this instead of DDOSing the OSM main website.

The offers serves mainly two purposes: 1) getting money 2) avoiding DDOS downtime (see original post).
It was a joke, anyone can download all of the data for free
