I would bet good money they got it from Amazon, they do not give a flying fuck what kind of books are sold.

"My dad died from cancer this is how to beat cancer"
That's implied patricide, friend
oh god, they're printing AI slop now?
Start stockpiling information now before the internet becomes nothing more than a repository of ai slop.
The end of the internet is ai trained on itself eating it's own tail
Burning down the Library of Alexandria to sell a Mechanical Turk that drinks seas of fresh water and torches continental swaths of forests.
Replace the church at the time and the church leader that got turned down by Hypatia with 
and his personal war against LGBTQIA+ people because a trans person ran off with his ex-wife and it's roughly the same tragedy, this time as farce. 
AI-roboros
The spiritual sequel of Fahrenheit 451 is rough; gonna be hard to memorize that many years of Wayback Machine before the nukes fall. 
I lathed this in 2021 now it's real
They've been printing it

It is a major issue. They are literally coming for our kids.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Honestly I'm glad things didnt turn out even worse for op's family. Poisonous mushrooms aren't just a gastrointestinal distress danger, those are a 'permanently destroying vital organs' danger, including species that look very similar to edible species that people seek out to eat. You do not ever, ever, want to fuck around and find out with mushrooms
like literally melt your kidneys, liver, brain or all 3, which is why I don't forage for mushrooms lol
picking wild mushrooms
innoculating wild mushrooms
Also some species are dead easy to recognize, but I do feel a lot more comfortable having first grown them at home
Mmmm golden teachers… So much easier than one would expect!
I have tried cultivating p cubensis outside and had no success. I think it was my innoculum that wasn't sterile. It's a really finicky species, I think starting your own culture from agar is the only foolproof method, or try for the uncle Ben tek and get lucky with a clean needle. But it's definitely not easy. Shiitake is easy.
Uncle Ben worked a dream for me! Indoor, low light, misted every day.
How does this person even think to ask such stupid questions? No, don't send the fucking book back, and compensation? Dawg you're looking at literally millions of dollars, go find the most rabid lawyer available and have him beat money out of Amazon (it was def Amazon btw)
Is the seller supposed to be liable for fact checking every non fiction book they sell? Seems like it would be the author and publisher to be sued. The retailer can't be expected to know the accuracy of all the books they sell.
Always the @discuss.tchncs.de with the dumbfuck shitlibbest opinions outside of lemmy.world
Amazon is probably acting as both publisher and retailer for this tier of slop book
Did we not call this like last year on hbear lmao

I wasn't the only one back then. There were a number that called it, but a lot of "this is actually revolutionary(tm) and opposing it is anti-materialism and the jobs lost aren't real jobs anyway and the treat printers are effectively workers that are at least as valid as human beings and least as conscious and intelligent as you are and are getting smarter than that so you're also anti-worker if you have a problem with being pushed into further precarity, you meat computer" 
computer touchery too.
"Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with"
Yes, what's the best way to prepare a pufferfish?
the best way to prepare pufferfish is by making it yourself and adding the salt to your fish sauce before you add the salt and the lemon and lemon to the sauce and then adding the lemon to it and the salt in the sauce and adding it to the sauce to make it more tender and are the best way to do that.
If you're opposed to this you're a Luddite that's just afraid of technology and you can't accept how this is objectively improving society in a revolutionary way. Also, it's at least as intelligent and self-aware and conscious as you are, meat computer. 
This seems like the author/publisher should be liable for criminal negligence. Hope the reddit OP didn't send that book back.
Libgen would never.
I, for one, will never be stupid enough to pay for some skeezy digital copy of a book like this when I can just pirate the real deal (aka: not this cheap ai knockoff shrooms indentification book). Convincing IP-brained normies, or just people with adeathly fear of understanding how to pirate is the main issue
As a forager, this shit is dangerous as hell and is going to get more people killed
Imagine Star Trek but the ships computer was totally incompetent.
In the 90s, AI was just a decade away.
In the 00s, AI was just a decade away.
In the 10s, AI was just a decade away.
In the 20s, we wish AI was just a decade away.
In the 20s, AI is an eternity away*
I was certain something like this would happen with AI, I'm glad they're ok, but it's still just a matter of time until there's actual deaths from this shit
Caveat emptor 
Eventually the brand will kill enough people that the market will stop rewarding bad business practices
calling it:
"Lawyer reads out the ai drivel that contributed to somebody's death in front of incredulous jurors" will be a comedy trope until 2032, when a gritty Batman reboot has its Harvey Dent do a dramatic one, sobbing with flashbacks to, I don't know, something that still provokes a response in 2032, there has to be an emotional vein around here somewhere. Teachers will complain that many of their students have made sob-reading ai drivel their whole personality.
"Lawyer reads out the ai drivel that contributed to somebody's death in front of incredulous jurors" will be a comedy trope until 2032
you mean this year
I'm somehow skeptical of the history. I would love to see a copy of the book before believing it truly.
It seems really crazy to me to just pick a book online and go away picking and eating mushrooms happily without apparently any previous knowledge. Specially those that are not the most commonly known as safe to eat.
Even if the book was not inaccurate and Ai generated. It seemed like a recipe for a very bad time. From a book picture to the real thing there can always be doubts and some experience and contrasted sources for investigation are must. Including you know.. just searching online, seems like a basic thing to do while foraging things that could kill you if you identified it wrong.
