This was correct a number of years ago. Feels a little strange we can just do an API call for bird recognition now.
- djhn 1y agoBut is there actually an API for that? Last I checked the big providers Video Intelligence APIs even distinguishing cats and dogs was still unreliable.
- MaxikCZ 1y agoThese days you dont need an api, you can run the stack on tamagochi
- SAI_Peregrinus 1y agoBirdNET from the Cornell lab of ornithology provides that api.
- filoleg 1y agoUnless I am missing something massive, BirdNET[0] is for identifying birds by sound, not by images. Merlin[1] (also from Cornell Lab of Ornithology), on the other hand, has both image and sound ID. I haven't used either, so I cannot compare the quality of results from Merlin vs. BirdNET for sound ID, but afaik only Merlin has image ID. 0. https://birdnet.cornell.edu/ https://birdnet.cornell.edu/ 1. https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/ https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/

- junon 1y agoJust to see if a bird is in the picture (like the comic states) using chatgpt et al can probably do a sufficient job. Not condoning people make this app, just thinking about how fast things have moved in just a few short years.
- JustExAWS 1y agoFor a POC, I’ve done animal recognition in a picture with Anthropic and the various Amazon Nova models. It’s around 10 lines of code.
- andreareina 1y agoFlickr did it in 2014, same year as the comic. Unfortunately the service is down and they didn't include a screenshot of it working. https://code.flickr.net/2014/10/20/introducing-flickr-park-or-bird/ https://code.flickr.net/2014/10/20/introducing-flickr-park-o...
