Why are you eating wild mushrooms ? Even if no one did anything wrong, you might misidentify it in the field. Unless you're very experienced in this field this feels like a very risky and stupid thing to do. This isn't an AI problem. This is a "Don't eat things growing in the woods" problem.
This is why generative AI simply doesn't work for anything with actual consequences. As it is right now, it's a glorified autocomplete, and one that doesn't understand the context it's being used in at all. That's fine for things like stock images or text on random product pages, but for things like this? Yeah, the very concept is just risky as hell.
Search also doesn’t work for anything with actual consequences by this logic. You verify information by finding multiple, different sources.

>This was something that was bound to happen and is going to happen again Just to clarify, the reddit post is 99% creative writing, it's a fake story created by a new Reddit account.
Do you have proof or did you mean "as it's a brand new account then it's probably made up"? The difference between those two things is rather important.
>There's some other statements as well about our account being terminated if we fail to return the product by the specific date. We've got a lot of movies and series that we have purchased over the years on this account, I wouldn't want to lose them.
This story is so fake it hurts. Reddit eating up ragebait is one thing but posts like this doesn't belong to HN at all

She has been asked to "Not take any photographs or copies of the product in question due to copyright issues" and it states, "the product must be returned immediately by special delivery by [DATE]." >There's some other statements as well about our account being terminated if we fail to return the product by the specific date.

Does it really matter if it's fake? It's a plausible scenario, and worth discussing. Fiction books can raise interesting questions about science and technology. And the implications of AI is very much HN's wheelhouse.

Yes? How is this even a question
99% of all such "advice" subs on reddit are creative writing. I'm gonna hold off on the outrage till there's actual proof that this happened.

I’m not an AI apologist by any stretch, but how is this different from some incompetent person criminally-negligently assembling and publishing a book without AI help? Shouldn’t existing legislation already cover this? I’d also assume that most books will be written with AI help in some way or another in the future.
Not different at all. But who would go through the pains of manually making up a mushroom identification book, while perhaps being quite clueless about the topic, on the faint hope of selling a few copies? Knowledge is not the bottleneck. Chances are the lazy authors using an AI generator would actually have known quite enough to write a reasonably safe-ish identification book, despite their laughably fake credential…
Err, at least 1 person: English As She is Spoke[1] was published in 1883 and was a lot more involved (lots of literal translation by an author who didn't speak English)
