Washington Post: Using AI to spot edible mushrooms could kill you

"Now, a new assortment of AI-powered mushroom identifiers are popping up in the Apple, Google and OpenAI app stores. These tools use artificial intelligence to analyze photos or descriptions of mushrooms and compare them to known varieties....With its high stakes and frequent mess-ups, mushroom identification is a bad candidate for automation, but companies are doing it anyway..."

@ai6yr Yes, but...if you are not an SME on mushrooms, not using AI to spot edible mushrooms will likely kill you. Maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't pick wild mushrooms if you don't know what the hell you're doing.

@ai6yr Further, now there are AI-generated mushroom ID books on Amazon, etc. that are also wrong.
