Is this a psyop to train AI on cat breeds?
It shouldn't be too hard for a model to tell Domestic Shorthair vs Domestic Longhair. They're basically all you'll see on the street.

Colourings / coat pattern names might be a bit harder to discern, but you also have more leeway to make it up if you're unsure.

It's 4 months that I'm in Boston instead of a little village in the middle of Italy and there are literally 0 stray cats here (opposed to home where there are many).

The app seems really cool btw, I will download it for sure when I go back home.

It's kinda sad how until a couple years ago, you'd see this and assume someone put time into it which was enough to warrant a deeper look. And now you have no clue if it's something they vibed up on a Saturday.
Buggy as hell on Android. The cats in the "area" are definitely not real. I know the cats on my street... That defeats the whole purpose of the app if it's just random cats from around the world.

Also pretty clearly written by AI. The "can" recharge is a clear money grab. Poor execution all around.

AI Slop, but actually really good idea!

I'm take a bit at doing this minus all the AI crap
