If an amateur mycologist picks and eats the wrong mushroom that an LLM said was fine to eat, is the LLM liable for the death legally and/or financially?
I mean, I know better than to pick random mushrooms and eat them, but I don’t really care for mushrooms - though some have some delightful effects when metabolized, lol. The only ones of THOSE I tried, I knew who grew them, and saw the “operation,” and reviewed his sources before trying one.
Call me paranoid, but I’m not blindly trusting a high school drop out to properly identify mushrooms when professionals make mistakes to the point where any mycologist will tell you, DON’T TRUST PICS OR THE INTERNET.
It can be too difficult to tell from those sources, and I doubt the LLM and the human asking questions have the right wavelength of discussion to not produce misleading, if not entirely fabricated, results.
An adult secret I love to teach kids is that none of us really know what the fuck we’re doing either, we’ve just gotten better at winging it over the years.
