AI - how well does it work?



I wonder how many of us are using the AI facility on iPhones - the little bug which comes up when you click the 'i' information icon below an iPhoto.  I've come to it only recently because of being slow to update my phone, but it seems trustworthy on obvious insects such as the Brimstone butterfly and the Brimstone moth.

As a little exercise, I'm posting a series of small, brown moths - the bane of my life - from a recent night's trapping with their AI description. Over to you Dave, and other experts to mark them as correct or not. In the top composite, looking from left to right in successive rows, the phone says: Willow Beauty, Willow Beauty, Lunar Underwing, Straw Underwing/Clouded Drab (though judging by Phil T's recent post, I think this may actually be a Deep Brown Dart), Double Square-spot, Archips podana,  White-point, Square-spot Rustic and another Lunar Underwing.

For the second composite below, it says: Pale Mottled Willow, Lesser Yellow Underwing, Square-spot Rustic and a third Lunar Underwing.

Im really interested to know how well it's done and mightily relieved if it's as generally reliable as appears to be the case.  Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
