I was wondering, if you were to announce a project like that, whether you'd get some pranksters walking obviously non-sensical routes daily, or funny/offensive shapes, just to mess with it. Humans are trickier to work with than particles. My hunch would be: on the first such projects, maybe, but if that became a new normal it would probably mostly die out over time. I would love if we designed more spaces that way.
It didn't occur to me but that seems likely indeed that some would attempt this xD
Now, for a path to actually appear, I have the intuition that it would require very, very determined, possibly organized, pranksters for this to be possible, or that they actively damage the grass or something.
Pranks should be obvious to spot, you could always ignore them during analysis (or even keep the really good ones!).

Of course, this is isn't perfect -- the user doesn't always know what they want.
