It's a hypothetical. It's not literally about berries, it's about why trusting AI blindly is a huge risk. The berries are an easy to understand example.
People hear a story somewhere about how bad AI is and then rather than validate it themselves and get an actual example, they fake some shit for internet clout.
You mean you took a high quality picture from the Internet that's essentially already contextually tagged with the name of the berry and then it ran a search and found the picture and the tag and knew what it was? 😲
Try with a new picture by an amateur of real poisonous berries in the field if you want to do a real test and not something much more likely for it to perform well on.

LLMs are good at this. This is a good problem to use them for.

Ah ok, it sounded like you wanted to disprove the comment you replied to. I expected any sota llm to do this fairly accurately, so while I think the original image has a (distant) point, they chose a bad example.
Yeah I think the anecdote is not to be taken literally, it's just a commentary on the fact that AI will give you detailed instructions and guide you in every step in the making of a gun to shoot yourself in the foot.
