I agree, if people are just hitting the first entry they see, then chances are they don’t really know the exact species anyway. And I think (as mentioned in another thread) that the computer vision suggestions shouldn’t really suggest anything below genus. That way people can get the observations into the right ballpark without creating more work for others if they then have to counteract an unwittingly incorrect ID.
