Comment on Mushroom hunting with LLMs: what can go wrong?

Comments

What are the error rates for a human experienced/trained in spotting mushrooms?

(isn't that the standard proponents use for autonomous driving?)

I never touch a mushroom I am not 100% certain is safe. So far I’ve had a 100% success rate in not poisoning myself or others. Wouldn’t recommend trusting an LLM either.

Mushroom pickers generally know only a handful of easy to distinguish types and only pick those. I would say that 99.9% of pickers will never get poisoned.
