I also recommend the Seek app by iNaturalist. Though if you’re like me and use it to identify plants and every bug you see, you may not actually get that much walking accomplished.
- mikestew 2y agoMy wife and I have a running joke about the Seek app: "Dicots. It's always dicots." Too often, pointing Seek at a plant results in "dicots", which is about half the flowering plants out there.
- ajkjk 2y agoI feel like seek's IDs are not as good as they should be given the state of ML. Maybe a dataset problem but still.
- nkrisc 2y agoSeason likely plays a factor too. There are many plants that more or less look identical (to the untrained eye) until they either bloom or grow large enough.
- ajkjk 2y agotrue. it is also pretty bad at IDing things that are half-formed, eg a bud that hasn't bloomed yet, presumably because most photos in the dataset are of the blooming version.
