Why are you eating wild mushrooms ?

Even if no one did anything wrong, you might misidentify it in the field. Unless you're very experienced in this field this feels like a very risky and stupid thing to do.

This isn't an AI problem. This is a "Don't eat things growing in the woods" problem.

Amazing that we're at the point where people think "Don't eat things growing in the woods", something that would have doomed our species, is common sense.

Perhaps they asked ChatGPT and were told it was a great idea to eat wild mushrooms.

This is a misinformation problem, which you can't solve simply by saying "you should have been better informed". The whole problem of AIs accelerating the post-truth age is that reliable sources are becoming scarcer at an exponential rate.
