It’s not really any surprise to me that AI-generated images would fool the CV. The CV forms some kind of gestalt impression of a species based on its training data, and then when you upload an image it will always try to give you a list of possible names. As long as the image you upload looks closer to a particular species than any other species, the CV will suggest that species.
For example it guesses correctly for many field sketch observations despite the fact that any human can tell you they’re drawings rather than images of an actual organism. The CV is not aware of the existence of “drawings” or “AI-generated images”. It just knows “you give me an image, I give you names”.
