The problem is that GZ relies on a user base that wants to look at the interesting objects - this will look at all the boring stuff too. Plus, data rates of LSST will be 10s TB/night - this will have to be parsed extremely quickly to find transients. Can't envision crowd sourcing doing that.
Fair enough, but this is truly unsupervised learning, which has not properly been applied to astro-images before
No, this is quite distinct from astrometry.net (assume that's what you mean)
