iNat update - but as several users are pointing out in the forums and replies, they still very clearly said LLM and provided a mock up. So what part of saying GenAI was a mistake and are we all just acutally more confused now 🤧

Please leave a comment to tell @inaturalist.bsky.social why using Google's Generative AI (ChatGPT and it's ilk) is a terrible idea. When dealing with poisonous shrooms and venomous animals, an expert should be writing this info, not hallucinating corporate LLMs 🧵 www.inaturalist.org/posts/113184...

Frustrating decision that I hope is back pedalled on. This isn’t the mission of iNat we know and love and the flood of just plain wrong IDs that will come from this is misinformative and an unnecessary strain on our community leaders and experts

Ontario’s Bill 5 would create “special economic zones” where key laws wouldn’t apply. The Ring of Fire could be one of them. This area holds some of the world’s remaining high-integrity peatlands that store carbon, filter water, and support biodiversity #WorldPeatlandsDay 🧵
