It looks like iNat still has a similar goal on which they ended this discussion. Now it’s only the matter on how they want it implemented, from what we see they decided to try out aggregating information from comments and train a (demo) generative model on it, so it can explain a choice of certain species (along CV but different approach?).
But then the majority of people don’t like this approach, and many just want the wiki thing.
I personally believe having information open like this can have a greater impact than just facilitating identification (which is if we choose to do it through AI tips). Maybe more people could start learning less popular or less known groups, etc.
