This remark sounds very important and we might ask for a new feature: the top suggestion (displayed as “We’re pretty sure this is…”) should be a taxon covering almost all the species suggestions displayed. It would often be a high rank taxon, Order or Family, a name that more people would know, like butterflies.
I am not actually asking for removing the present top suggestion, but maybe adding one more on the top of it. The taxon suggested would also (partially?) satisfy the persons asking for automatic identifications, yet the ID would not be put, just strongly suggested:
And the icing on the cake would be to make this top ID suggestion searchable… see other discussions about a similar feature, for instance here.
In this example where species of different Superfamilies are displayed, yet a Genus is proposed as the top suggestion (which at first sight seems contradictory, isn’t it ?) (the reason is that the species suggested have extremely different confidence scores, but these scores are not displayed):

BTW, the computer vision has been much improved and is trained on a larger and larger set of species, so does it still make sense to display as suggestions several taxa that have a confidence score near zero?
