Seek by iNaturalist has the same problem: if you wiggle your camera around enough, it will give you a species identification. But that species identification will be spurious. It's not reliable at all. Pointing this out on HN has sometimes resulted in a lot of upvotes and sometimes in a lot of downvotes. I don't know why. In all cases, Seek identifications are unlikely to be correct. (I also got one response saying I was wrong to try to tar iNaturalist by association with the unaffiliated app "Seek by iNaturalist". As the name of the app suggests, they are not in fact unaffiliated.)
