There’s a reason why iNat makes sure that people don’t decide on “dangerous” plants an fungi based on cv ids, it is not a really good idea to implement it with programm, only people can answer such questions with safety.

Certainly, I would steer way clear of affirmatively saying something was ‘edible’. However, there might be ways to structure and market such an app to indicate increased levels of danger, perhaps indirectly. The fact that there are multiple plant/object ID apps out there which are capable of suggesting edible and poisonous IDs suggests that it is possible to do in a lawyer-approved manner. Definitely another good reason to talk to a lawyer.

Interesting, what a shame. Thanks to everyone for their valuable help! I will focus my efforts on other matters because of the copyright and safety limitations.

Slightly tangential perhaps, but the latest text-to-image model had a press release from OpenAI today, and it looks insane :

Presumably trained on billions of images, copyright and otherwise…
