‘Life or Death:’ AI-Generated Mushroom Foraging Books Are All Over Amazon
Experts are worried that books produced by ChatGPT for sale on Amazon, which target beginner foragers, could end up killing someone.

Many mushroom identification and foraging books being sold on Amazon are likely generated by AI with no human authorship. These books could provide dangerous misinformation and potentially lead to deaths if people eat poisonous mushrooms based on the AI's inaccurate descriptions. Two New York mushroom societies have warned about the risks of AI-generated foraging guides. Experts note that safely identifying wild mushrooms requires careful research and experience that an AI system does not have. Amazon has since removed some books flagged as AI-generated, but more may exist. Detecting AI-generated books and authors can be difficult as the systems can fabricate author bios and images. Relying on multiple credible sources, as well as guidance from local foraging groups, is advised for safely pursuing mushroom foraging.

They're already trying to kill us!!!!
By "they", do you mean AIs, or capitalists? There currently is no artificial intelligence, only things that are called that for marketing purposes. Those things are used by capitalists to, shocker one: accumulate capital, and, shocker two: capitalists don't have a history of caring about the general wellbeing.
