Say whaaaaaat

Just splendid

AI made it garbage

It used to identify bugs fairly accurately, at least enough to get you started on the right track for manual research. They swapped to an AI model and now it is completely useless.

Before updating the app: “moisture ant or possibly sugar ant.”
After updating the app: “that’s an ant” “it’s a spider”

Absolutely useless.

Good but utterly useless calling my paper wasp a ant

It’s my first day using this app called my dead honeybee a bee (because it is) called my dead paper wasp a ant and called my dead yellow jacket a wasp(because it it is)

Disappointing

Uploaded a picture of a caterpillar I had not seen before. The App correctly identified it as a caterpillar and then showed me an add.
It got one star because lower was not an option.

Bugs b gone
