There are thousands of wrong IDs as a result of this, especially in groups with not many active experts on iN to correct this. For example there are over 1500 IDs of a land snail _Succinea putris_ in North America, but this species is absent there and confused by AI with local species that nobody can ID on iN, so _Succinea putris_ from Old World is an only AI-suggestion for similar-looking snails. See discussion here:

I’m sure there are hundreds of similar unnoticed cases. Months of work to clean it up. For sure AI-suggestions should be more careful and there should be much more on family-level, order-level and even above. “We’re pretty sure this is…” and “here are our top suggestions” are both way too confident.
