The ML model is an entomologists/arachnologist trained for 5+ years, if not decades. Start training with data from iNaturalist, but then realize they are already using AI detection models, and they note they are far from accurate, and they don't anticipate them ever being accurate.
Part of the problem is you need scopes/cameras with resolution for things under 2mm. People don't have those, nor the expertise to setup the light, etc. to take the pictures required to diagnose them. Then they need precise angles to take the shots at, etc.
Not impossible, and could certainly eliminate a whole suite of things that are not, but at the end of the day you're going to need a salaried person to make the final call if you want to commercialize this and not get sued... I suspect.
