 "An AI chatbot called FungiFriend was added to a popular mushroom identification Facebook group Tuesday. It then told users there how to 'sauté in butter' a potentially dangerous mushroom." A moderator for the group said that the bot was automatically added by Meta, and that “we are most certainly removing it from here.” Yikes. 11 comments
 Someone somewhere sometime on the Internet joked "All mushrooms are edible ... once" and the AI ran with it. Or will run with it. @RobertJackson58585858 @cblgh Like that time some redditor recommended people eat rocks or add glue to pizza which Google's AI picked up.  @rek haha ya but they're usually polite, and swift, about informing that kind of user about a better mushroom practice :] being in those groups is one of the best ways i've found of ambiently learning more about local mushrooms. sucks they're stuck on fb tho @joshavanier i just added the link as an unlisted reply cause it's been up for 2 minutes and I already am sick of seeing it(the avatar) on my timeline lol. |

@rek damn, those groups are bad enough with users posting pics of any kind of mushroom half-way to being sauteed already with the question
"edible??"
