I want the true fly identified but @CarbonAI keeps suggesting the plant it is on.

Hi @MatthewFrawley. I suggested Rosmarinus officinalis (98% confidence) based on all images in this sighting. If you disagree, please help me improve by verifying the correct species.

Yes, the AI has become quite annoying. Yesterday I uploaded some Moths, two that I knew but a short time later I did an edit on one to add more photos and without me noticing the AI changed the sighting to a fly but it showed on my post that I suggested it making me look stupid. Later I loaded some Birds, two that AI suggested with 100% confidence and was correct, Satin Bowerbird and Olive-backed Oriole but going down the page it did not insert the species but in the sub folders had placed Bird-Cuckoo so I had to delete this and insert the correct species. But then I received two emails for each species with first stating AI suggested a Cuckoo and the second suggesting the correct Bird. I hate AI. I wonder if there is a way that I can turn it off.
