This project is super cool! But the price of the e-ink board is quite steep

#152Bryce Shivers and Lisa Eversman would definitely have this in their boutique. Put a Bird on It!

#153This could totally be a commercial product. I picture it being sold with a bird feeder. Maybe it uses a camera on the feeder.
Then have the screen look like a biologists notebook where he sketches the bird and writes a few notes about the time and its behavior.

The local inference is a product that came out of the data-center-driven AI.
This is incorrect; the local model is a small dense neural network called BirdNET that would not have been referred to "AI" when it was published in 2021. The model outputs a bird species probability distribution and the web application displays an existing image file of the most probable bird on the screen. This is a lovely example of simple, offline, and fun project using a straightforward machine learning model.
Ok, so why didn't this small dense model come up, say, 10 years back? Oh it needed all the AI evolution and concepts that were powered and evolved inside the data centers. But we still want to claim that it has nothing to do with the Big AI.

What a shame that we get a bird ckassifier by the samle technology we use to recognize cancer and other illnesses.
What a shame that you use that excuse to offset all other evils of AI, without even having a hint of how many patients were saved by AI. Just like how oil salesmen and nukes makers say that they solve some great problem of the world.

#157I am buying an e-ink display just to try this!

#158This is an excellent execution and refreshing to see the thought process behind it. Kudos. the ideas such as these, gonna keep us swim sane and specifically extending far beyond the 9-5 is no longer sideProject category but refreshingly needed one.

#159Needs to also have an alarm clock waking you with this

#160Finally, we solved the problem of converting bird sounds into their pictures without involving human cognition. The great problem and the need had to wait for the great, ultra expensive, data-center-driven AI technology to appear on the horizon. AI is such a good technology that continue to solve many such great problems that humans desperately needed for their survival and progress. All at the a minimal cost of some…
Amazingly unhinged response to the automated bird picture frame.
