To AI or not to AI?
Recently a Japanese man in his 70s was out gathering wild mushrooms and found some that resembled either shiitake or oyster mushrooms. He tried to show them to a local botanical garden to verify what kind they were, but the staff was unavailable. Unwilling to wait, he took a photo of them and uploaded it to an AI, which agreed with his theory by saying, “They’re either shiitake or oyster mushrooms and are edible.” Satisfied with this, the chap cooked and ate them and within 30 mins began vomiting violently and was hospitalised. Thankfully symptoms were short lived and he is doing well.
