Not to make light of depression but the pictures are especially funny if people don't know what you're doing is book binding.

looking for animal references on image searches has always kind of sucked but it's much worse after AI image generation technology has begun to actually past muster, which is why i always just go straight to inaturalist. can't recommend this highly enough. you get to both find out about niche species you've never even heard of and also see some really good photographs like this one

I KNEW I had seen this exact same image before! Good old "Organisms On or Near Appropriate Signs" project.

[ot3]

oh that's a fun project. haven't seen this before. some good ones in here.

[rhube]

Also, I seem to recall inaturalist got on the AI bandwagon, so the signs people might be a safer bet.

[Edit:] oh no, it's the same ppl.

Here’s the next cohort of the Google.org Accelerator: Generative AI

AI-edited photos are inventing rare bird sightings on iNaturalist, and scientists warn the AI slop could corrupt biodiversity records.

the first source you have linked is about this grant for making enhancements to the kind of machine learning aided identification and labeling/search tools their platform has been developing for almost a decade, and does not involve any AI imagery being generated or shown to users

FAQs What is the history of iNaturalist and AI? iNaturalist has been synthesizing photos and identifications using machine learning since 2017 to provide computer vision suggestions (a kind of AI) on the iNaturalist website and mobile apps. In 2023 we started incorporating observation location into our model training process, which resulted in the geomodel and range maps. All of the training of these models happens on two machines we own and control. Each time we update the model, we write a blog post about the new species that have been added thanks to the observations and identifications from the iNaturalist community. You can read the most recent blog post from April.

the second link is about AI generated or AI enhanced wildlife images being uploaded to citizen scientists database, and the inaturalist director of community support authoring a paper on why this is bad, along with a brief mention of the fact that inaturalist is trying to combat this with flagging that tries to prevent these images from being used in research

“Regular people are posting information that a scientist could probably never get at scale,” said Tony Iwane of iNaturalist, a co-author on the paper. He called the network “almost like a sensor of what is happening on Earth in real time.” His catch: the information needs to be accurate. Feed it bad data and the inferences go wrong. A single AI-invented sighting can suggest a species has shifted its range when it has not. There is a second cost, too. Manipulated images used to train AI identification tools can quietly degrade them.

Fighting back The platforms are starting to respond. iNaturalist now lets users flag images two ways. A fully-AI-generated flag hides the image. An over-manipulated flag drops it to “casual” grade, so it never reaches research databases.

like what possible point could you be trying to make here. what is the purpose of these links.

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

it's crazy how no one has been able to successfully replace Team Fortress 2, despite the many contenders for the title

I think the closest we've gotten is maybe overwatch which is like the la croix of tf2
