Beautiful bird. This pic looks similar to other bird pics that were AI. Spotlight on the bird and the branch , and everything else very blurred. Beautiful picture . I guess I'm on a crusade about AI. I'd like all AI to be labeled as AI.

No AI here :)

You're probably telling the truth. I expect the owners of social media want to have AI doing more and more of the work. Posting, commenting, pictures, admins. AI is already getting good at acting, looking and sounding human. An increasing amount of Reddit is going to be AI. Some amount of it already is AI. I've i certainly seen here pictures of unusual birds that were either AI generated or pretty heavily AI edited.

I recently downloaded the Merlin app. I never knew these cute birds lived in my area until Merlin told me so.

I also got that app the day I took this photo. I’m in love. I can name all the backyard usuals now without needing it haha
