> Happy to hear and implement any ideas on how to improve the process to prevent automated features to be uploaded.

Idea: do not automatically create features that a human can simply approve, instead require them to draw the polygon themselves.

long time editor of osm here. what you describe is what the rapid [1] editor from meta does where user is forced to manually select objects overlayed sat imagery. is limited to 50 objects before user must push. a great method i think

Well it can still detect features in the satellite image that are missing on the map. That would already be a large help, no?

The point of what? Slamming a bunch of contributions in? Or actually improving the product for end users?

Adding missing features. I'm pretty sure if users are searching for swimming pools they'd rather have a swimming pool with slightly bent sides than none at all.
