A YouTuber has warned that blindly trusting AI chatbots can be extremely dangerous after ChatGPT termed a highly toxic plant safe.

Kristi, who has nearly half a million followers on Instagram, recently shared a video explaining how her friend sent pictures of an unfamiliar plant growing in her backyard to ChatGPT and asked the AI chatbout about it.




Perhaps let's ask the main guy himself?

I'm copypasting some comments from an anonymous user I read online so let's not blame the poor teacher alone here:

This is an issue with foraging in general. I tried one of those foraging apps and discovered a tasty patch of harmless wild garlic. Of course, big rule of foraging, dont put anything in your mouth until you thoroughly understand it. I did more research and discovered it was not safe to eat garlic but, in fact, deadly star of bethlehem bulbs.

If you rely on any one source to identify something without extensively researching it, it's already a danger.
