Please, do not encourage use of AI suggestions without at least some knowledge of the object. Cleaning the resulting mess is one of the reasons which discourage qualified IDers, because it is very tedious to get into the lengthy discussions as to why the ID is not correct. The argument being – but i…

[image] alexb0000: I think it may be helpful to limit AI suggestions to the genus level or higher, at least for users under a certain number of IDs. That would prevent the problem of classmates getting each other’s IDs to Research Grade just by agreeing with the suggested species, but still narr…

YES! I find this happens all too often. iNat autofills the species id based on my file label. Sometimes this leads to off the wall identifications. Granted it is my responsibility to correct the id, but when you’re uploading 50+ images, it is easy to overlook one that has autofilled, but incorre…

Thank you, I also decided it at least takes visual similarity as a main thing and I never read before it takes the geography in account.

[image] jurga_li: why it is connected to GBIF Because GBIF have decided to incorporate the data. iNat cant force that decision on them, nor does it in any way change what the iNat team or community see as the vision and role of the site.

[image] xris: Is this flag/indicator also returned in exports? Is it possible to search by this? The field “owners_identification_from_vision” will tell you if if the observer’s ID used CV, the field “vision” will tell you if any particular ID used CV.

[image] cmcheatle: Because GBIF have decided to incorporate the data. Are you saying the dependence on Research Grade data by GBIF-informed researchers was forged after iNat was created - rather than, iNat was created to inform GBIF?

What I am saying is GBIF is an independent organization separate from iNaturalist and they make their own decisions about which datasets they will incorporate or ask/choose to use. Inat was not founded for the purpose of populating GBIF.

[image] jurga_li: do you think that qualified identifiers (researchers among them) spend enormous amount of time at identifying entirely for the purpose for nature communication? It is for the sake of data correctness and education. If the users are not particularly interested in any ofthese, th…

[image] jessicaleighallen: Personally, I wish to see who is identifying my images, so I click on the users’ profile picture. I feel more confident accepting their ID if I see a Curator tag, or…pertinent credentials. If any aspect of the process should be improved - to improve on the limitations …

This is a result of a relatively new feature that’s separate from the computer vision (Original request, bug reports, feature request for improvement).
