With respect to the original-original poster, this is wrong. AI plant identification is terrible. It gives you confidence but not enough nuance to know that there are similar plants, some of which look almost but not quite identical, some of which will provide some really nice sustenance, some of which will literally kill you and it’ll hurt the whole time you’re dying.
It’s almost as bad as those AI-written foraging guides that give you enough information to feel confident but not enough information to be able to tell toxic or even deadly plants apart from the real ones.
If it looks like a carrot, don’t touch it, to dig it up, and especially don’t eat it. There are tons of plants in the same familuly of plants that look nearly identical or extremely similar that will give you an extremely bad day, month, year, or death.
