Also, my own abilities (and the taxonomy) have changed over a decade using iNat. Accommodating these subtleties will be extremely hard for an LLMonster.

What I really don’t understand is why community-based organisations like iNaturalist are hopping into the genAI train without asking their communities whether they could see a use case for genAI. The response has been almost universally negative here, and for others before.
I think the team at @inaturalist.bsky.social need to sit down and read the comments and feedback that they are getting on their blogpost, and across social media, and seriously consider if this endeavour is going to be able to deliver what they want it to deliver, without estranging their user base.
Even if it is good for the casual uploader, if it causes experts like me to be frustrated, disappointed, and ultimately leave the platform, the entire project will collapse. iNat NEEDS experts. Human experts. A lot more than it needs TaxoBot4000, the regurgitating robot.
