We planted some spinach last year, they grew, we harvested them and died since they were out of season. But as we speak I checked the garden and these grew in place of them, Bird's Nest Fern is what they're called apparently and I'm wondering if they're edible or not since they were planted from the spinach seeds we sown last year. Thanks in advance for the help!

People are ridiculous for downvoting this comment. It is useful information on the topic. Ai output should never be believed by itself, but it can be a helpful tool as long a human verifies it

Posting without verifying deserves downvotes. It's useless at best, and harmful at worst when it's wrong. Thus, downvotes.

Also, since it is verifiably wrong, extra downvotes.

verifiably wrong, extra downvotes.

I don’t see a single comment that says for sure what it is, let alone verifies it.

You’re whining because this is AI, not because of the reasons you stated, it’s hella obvious.

So what about the person guessing?

Atleast they showed their homework. And even went so far as to provide information and context, saying it may not be right.

Fuck ai, but atleast be consistent instead of a hypocrite.

What about them? They're equally unhelpful.

So go downvote and bitch at them, you hypocrite lmfao

it can indeed be useful as long as a human verifies it, which is why we should be leaving these apps to rot and only use iNaturalist which lets you post the photos to get a second opinion (and at the same time contribute to science).

All these other plant ID apps are the equivalent of talking tom, they're just entertainment.

The anti-AI sentiment on Lemmy is quite extreme. To these people, all AI is bad. Even when it's useful. Even when it's saving lives. Even if AI was the world's only hope of solving global warming, they'd still unplug it without skipping a beat.

Because none of that matters to them. It's a religion. A beleif that's not founded in reason. They hate it. The very concept of it.

If all AI was powered via solar panels in a desert with no water cooling necessary, they'd still hate it.

If all AI was perfect at what it did and never made mistakes they'd still hate it.

If all AI was open source and free, running locally on everyone's PCs and phones, they'd still hate it.

I don't get it. There's literally no place for intelligent machines in their world.
