- loloquwowndueo 2y agoSomeone who’s trying to use AI to put groundhogs out of a job does NOT love them. At all.

- pcraig3 2y agoGroundhogs are public figures who receive lots of press coverage, so it's important that we have mechanisms to keep them accountable. Articles like "Grading the groundhogs" are only possible with clean datasets: https://www.noaa.gov/heritage/stories/grading-groundhogs https://www.noaa.gov/heritage/stories/grading-groundhogs

(Likely) Ameriican newspapers pushing their "biased groundhog agenda" across the border in the early 1900's and a lack of a strong understanding of where the bear-thing came from (first nations? the french? no one really knew) prevented a patriotic pushback. Perhaps the first occurance of the US cultural tidal wave the continues to sweep over Canada?
