I recently returned from Africa with a bunch of images of animals in the wild; often predators, many captured singly in good light and alone in the frame. PL9’s ‘Animals’ so-called-AI mask identifies some but not all. Most ungulates in good light it recognizes. Wild dogs, hyena, elephants and birds are pretty easy for the AI, too. Usually it will find a lion.
But oddly I could never get it to identify a Leopard, even when the “subject” selection had no problem grabbing the beast.
Then I discovered that the “AI” considers Leopards to be “flowers”. It almost always finds a leopard as a flower.
Not an association I would have made (nor you, either, I guess). But I can imagine a kind of whimsical logic to it… I guess. The spots, I suppose, have a floral character: as in the oddly mis-titled “Tiger Lily.
