Experienced foragers worry that the new wave of foraging guides produced by artificial intelligence provide misleading—even dangerous—information to novice foragers, and lack details on how to harvest in an ecologically responsible way.
It’s not that easy to steer clear of. I’ve bought a couple of books on other topics from Amazon and realized when they arrived that they weren’t worth the cost of the paper they were printed on. It’s easy enough to notice it’s bullshit, it’s harder to avoid spending money and time on them in the first place.

Darwin awards is a little harsh and I am a huge Darwin awards fan myself.
I see your point, but anyone with an ounce of intelligence will steer well clear of these.
That said, Amazon should be held responsible for deliberately promoting false and dangerous information.

True. Does it not say or does it even give a fictitious author? Amazon should be held accountable if that’s the case.
Amazon should be held accountable for a lot of things, let’s face it…
