Black and white film retains the developed silver particles, whereas color processing discards the silver entirely and leaves clouds of dye behind to form the image. The silver has higher acutance, of course.

Did you actually look at the details? It's literally in rule #1:

> 1 . Any observations you add must be the first photograph(s) of that species anywhere. If an observation is the first one for that species to be uploaded to iNat, but other photos of that species from an earlier point in time already exist anywhere elsewhere online/in print, then that observation should not be added to the project. This is the biggest source of observations that I have to remove from the project. So your observation must be both the first photograph of that species on iNat and also the first anywhere.

> I would definitely listen to AI-generated music if it were good enough

Why not just seek out the original works that the AI stole from?

It didn't predict anything here, it just ripped off a reddit comment.

What is your basis for strongly believing that?
