Use computer vision to annotate observations

@bmvig

This could also be a good task for new users/non-experts.

Yes, see this related tutorial about how to add annotations:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/using-identify-to-annotate-observations/1417

It’s listed as one of the ways to help out on iNat too. :)

But hopefully we can work on the unambiguous issues first, possibly to get a process sorted out.

Insect life stages seems pretty straightforward and computer vision would have much higher confidence between them than distinguishing species. Run it automatically and allow users to upvote or downvote the computer vision suggestions.

Something needs to stop cases where say I post a cardinal observation with 2 pics 1 male and 1 female, say the male is the 1st. Do you want pic 2 classed as male, the annotation left blank or not even attempted to be completed as an example.

Observations that show an egg, larva, then adult, or male, then female, in separate photos fail the criteria of what an observation is anyway, but only running it on observations with a single photo would be one step to take in limiting the generation of additional issues.
