Advertisment for Google Lens

I’ve just seen an advertisement for Google Lens which presents using it to identify which bunch of herbage is coriander. In the context of a cook forgetting which herb in the kitchen is which, this is probably OK - even if Google Lens gets it wrong, while the meal may not end up as intended, it won’t poison anyone - but I’d worry about someone stretching the context and using it to distinguish between toxic and edible plants/fungi.

Yes extremely worrying

That is right.
Just one fuzzy photo away from a blue lighted trip to A&E.

Or a ‘trip’ in the LSD sense!
