There's an XKCD comic for that.
This comic is so old, that both should be rather easy now
Well, sure, with an image classifier, the bird identification is doable. I'm sure I could implement that if I went looking for some open source thingamabob that does that. But it's still not something I could actually understand. That part definitely hasn't changed over the years.
Having taken an ML class, with some of my college notes I could do this and "understand" it... but the weights would still be a black box. AI training is black (box) magic.
Ebird/ Merlin bird id does this wonderfully.
