But is there actually an API for that? Last I checked the big providers Video Intelligence APIs even distinguishing cats and dogs was still unreliable.

Just 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.

		For 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.

BirdNET from the Cornell lab of ornithology provides that api.

		Unless 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/ 1. https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/
