Sample of books scored 100% on AI detection test as experts warn they contain dangerous advice
Amateur mushroom pickers have been urged to avoid foraging books sold on Amazon that appear to have been written by artificial intelligence chatbots.
Amazon has become a marketplace for AI-produced tomes that are being passed off as having been written by humans, with travel books among the popular categories for fake work.
Now a number of books have appeared on the online retailer’s site offering guides to wild mushroom foraging that also seem to be written by chatbots. The titles include “Wild Mushroom Cookbook: form [sic] forest to gourmet plate, a complete guide to wild mushroom cookery” and “The Supreme Mushrooms Books Field Guide of the South-West”.
I've ran into a few issues with AI written articles.
One for Assassins Creed Odessey on how to get wood quickly. It listed 5 methods and only 2 of them were in the game.
Another with articles on Baldurs Gate 3 talking about upgrading your equipment. I beat the game twice in 20 hours and never came across the workbench mentioned in the articles. It was at that time the articles were clearly parroting one another with false data.
