I’m still a bit leery about using ChatGPT for this since I remember asking it about basic bird ID (e.g. robin vs. bluebird) 2 years ago and it making up hilariously wrong answers. More recently I had similar things with obscure biology questions although it is much better now. I trust Perplexity more since it gets info directly from sources rather than indirectly from its memory of training data (unless I’m misunderstanding how GPT works or there’s a pro version that can scan the internet live). I’m still not sure I’d trust it on fungi since there’s so much information that’s just not on the internet at all about understudied taxa like that.
