Idk, when I Google Lensed a Sunflower plant, the AI told me it was a Peruvian ground apple....

It also has a lot of trouble identifying lambs quarters and other common wild weeds.

    probably because Google lens is made to be all-purpose, if you had a model that has been specifically trained to recognize plants, it wouldn't make such obvious mistakes

    Try out Flora Incognita, it usually works pretty well, at least in the UK. Though I'm kinda bemused that while often I give it one blurry photo of a leaf and it immediately spits out the 97% confidence answer (and yes, the result's example photos do match the real plant's other parts too), but occasionally it has me take painstaking photos of like 5 different aspects of the plant, then thinks for more than a minute and goes "eeh, 37% that it's this [completely different looking] plant, otherwise no clue".
