Anyone using AI for hunting?

I always begin my searches with the outfitters at the SCI convention. Many of the outfitters offer hunts all over the globe, including across the States. Don't discount this site either; this is a brotherhood of hunters and outfitters/PHs who share the same passion and ethos.

I really do not like computers and the trust we place in them.
With that said, is anyone using AI technology to help select hunts, areas, equipment or whatever?
Do you trust AI?

Nope.

I dont trust AI, but I tried some research. For example, I tried to get information on what is the most popular caliber in my country, based on the availability of rifles in that caliber in local shops.
No answer.
When I asked why there is no answer to a precisely defined question, AI replied, it cannot access web pages of local shops, because it is rejected by firewalls as a bot.
Searching for hunts led to the same results. At least in my case.

I also tested some questions, for which I knew the exact answer. Wrong answers given.
There are also some areas that AI will not answer, as they are politically sensitive or not politically correct.

Next, AI does not search everything. It gets to a few of the sources it considers "reliable" and provides an answer based on that. So, using a limited number of sources with questionable reliability. It does not search all web.
AI is full of faults.

At this stage of IT development, public AI is dumber than Google.


AI is good for drawing. For example, when making a hunting report, and you want to describe what happened or what you have seen, but did not record it on camera.
That is how I made AI drawing of a leopard on waterhole, for example, in my hunting report 2024.

Ai no. Drones yes.

I’m all for technology… I’ve got a hand held thermal monocular that I take to the field to assist finding downed game… and I’ve got a dji drone that I’ll likely take with me after the leaves fall from the trees to help in finding downed game and/or get some cool pics and video of our hunting property…

AI just doesn’t play a factor for me because I’m pretty much going to be in the woods whenever I can be, regardless of conditions or circumstances..

I Use the drone for scouting new areas. Example. Im wanting to do some bear hunting out east. So first week of bow season for deer and first week rifle ill be out there marking where people park on a map so I can find areas with less pressure.
Also use it to find poachers on the farm.

Ai I dont things a great tool for hunting because theres alot of non quantifiable and subjective things about it.

I've had some luck asking ChatGPT to write me KQL based queries for Sentinel. They do need a once over and the occasional correction in each query but it's far quicker than having to write them out completely myself.

If you mean by AI Ackley Improved then yes I do.

That's exactly what I thought whenI saw this thread "hey, an Ackley Improved thread"
