iNat turning to Generative AI feels like such a profound betrayal. I am disappointed beyond words. I beg you reconsider.

Y’all have been poorly ratio’d here. And on your blog post.

You are already losing contributors, both through IDs and money.

Work with the existing community. I know $1.5M is a lot of money nowadays, but you’ll be losing so much more.

We gave you data. Please don’t give it to GenAI.

This is so disappointing, heartbreaking, and shameful. iNat has been my favorite app for years, but if you start using generative ai I will have to stop using it. Please please please reconsider.
