What would make AI on iNaturalist tolerable to you?

None. No generative AI. Usage of LLM is theft. There are many many solutions that would both work better and not damage the environment by using irresponsible amounts of energy. This is, in my view, the worst possible solution to the problem of specific ID details being inaccessible. Just adding a comment section/forum under species and genus pages would both be more reliable and also not a heinous waste of resources. Genuinely there is nothing that would warrant this. Just make an iNat Wiki or something and stop wasting our time, please.
