Interesting, I didn’t know that. Does that mean if I see a pothos in a pot, identifying it would actually encourage the AI to recognize it correctly?
Because of the “wild only please” policy of inaturalist, I’ve always checked cases like the potted schlumbergera as cultivated and not even bothered with an ID. Of course this contributes to the problem that the AI is very bad at recognizing potted plants, and causes users to stick wildly out of range IDs to those observations.
If the AI actually does use “cultivated” observations for training, properly identifying those could be a sort of roundabout way to achieve what I wanted from my feature request, to let new users have proper (AI) IDs for their potted plants while keeping the “cultivated” mechanism for taking those observations off the maps.
