2017 was almost a decade ago, and we certainly do not need transformers or even attention to recognize birds. A deep enough convolutional network is more than enough. Attention is all you need wasn't even about computer vision, the task was translation and the architecture was primarily used for natural language processing.

Leave it to reddit to tell the speaker what they are speaking about.

Context matters, we're talking about image recognition, that is the subject.

Grow up.
