Update on my stance here: I’ve changed my mind after reading way more about #AI. Stopped using #LLM products, cancelled paid subscription to #ChatGPT and am currently exploring smaller, specialized, and open-source alternative language model solutions to keep business functioning where needed (tldr because of client requests for certain types of automation I can’t say goodbye to LMs completely).
Planning to write up how my thinking developed soon.

AI-enhanced maps reveal hidden streams for restoration
A dataset unveiled today more than doubles the documented stream miles in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, elevating the total from approximately 150,000 to nearly 350,000 miles. The Hyper-Resolution Hydrography Data used to generate the new stream maps stems from a collaboration between the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), the Environmental Protection Agency's Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP), and the Chesapeake Conservancy (CC), including UMBC alumni at CBP and CC.
