AI SLOP this realistic is INFURIATING. 😡 People keep sending me this saying, "omg it's like your photos," when I travel the world to photograph REAL beetles. Then AI trains on those photos to generate fake "wildlife" like this. People get fooled. Animals lose. Every time. 😤

AI SLOP of wildlife documentaries deserves heavy jail time. 😡 This is misinformation on an enormous scale and diluting decades of research. The crazy thing? - not ONE of the thousands of comments could tell that it’s AI… We are so doomed 😭

Disgusting animal abuse! 😡 So SICK of ‘viral videos’ like this, all the rays are DEAD and that one ‘moving’ is obviously being pulled by two fishing lines… Between animal abuse for clicks and AI, social media is rife with wildlife misinformation! 😤

PINK KATYDID ALERT! 🚨🤯 I can’t believe I got to see a PINK katydid in the forest! These Orophus are usually green, with this pink coloration being a case of erythrism, a rare genetic condition affecting pigment expression!💖 It was genuinely glowing in the Ecuadorian forest 🌳
