None. Extract from text: "I presented a series of queries and follow-up questions to ChatGPT regarding the identity of two shell-boring polychaete worms of the genus Polydora Bosc, 1802; notorious pests of commercially reared shellfish such as scallops, oysters and abalone. For the first trial, I wanted to determine whether ChatGPT could accurately distinguish the superficial morphological differences between Polydora websteri Hartman in Loosanoff & Engle, 1943 and Polydora neocaeca Williams & Radashevsky, 1999—both of which appear identical to a non-polychaetologist looking through a standard compound microscope."
