I don't even draw but big 📌 to you!

Got the two in less than a minute! I feel like superhero

Update for anyone interested: They are currently writing a blog post to provide more details.

If you teach us how to draw them, we could make a pretty cool field guide of the mountain

I'm afraid, that by doing this, they're obscuring expert knowledge in the site just to get a shitty Gemini telling you bee is a wasp or something like that.

And only at the expense of the same biodiversity that the community on the site are willing to preserve.

One of the main issues is we do not have specific details about what is all of this about. People in the forum are guessing the ai will compile the comments of observation to get a "summary" on the species information.

But right now is only guesses what we've got.

To any one interested in the answer to this, here is the first community post talking about it

forum.inaturalist.org/t/what-is-th...

No one has answered yet but I think is a good idea to keep it moving it

@inaturalist.bsky.social no post on bluesky, no explanation in the forums... How is our data and observations going to be treated? Why you didn't ask any feedback on the community that is contributing to the database?
