Keep your AI

Great app, lovely community, but yet another thing turned to trash by ai tools. Nothing says birding like supporting massive tech corporations who flatten natural habitats, drain water supplies, and pollute the environment, just for useless data centres. We’ve never needed ai to identify things before, it isn’t remotely helpful enough to justify the harm it does. Birding has always been about community, and about being connected to nature. Couldn’t think of anything less connected to nature than using generative ai, just embarrassing band wagon stuff from an otherwise great app/company.

What privacy?

Immediately deleted this app when I read the privacy (or lack of privacy) statements.

Fun app

Fun app

Instant deleted again

Thought this could be a nice app wich works with ads or selling my data but as soon as I saw that this is only a 7 day trial I deleted the app. I‘m sure it’s fun and work well but there are type of apps where I do not see a reason for subscribing to even use it.

Edit: there seems to be a way to use it for free. Did not try but I will change it to 5 stars
