Horrific painful death from liver failure when the books lead people to eat the wrong mushrooms

Destruction of ecosystems by people unfamiliar with how to responsibly forage

Flooding of wrong and plagiarized information, drowning out experts and actual real, correct information

There's literally no positive side of this. At all.

Darwin awards will benefit - if that's the right term.

I feel for the smart kids or eagar adults that want to learn and get caught up in this.

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.

How is this related to the Darwin awards, if you're just getting fooled by a book that you thought was trustworthy?

Trusting Amazon's AI produced books.

I guess it depends how obvious it is that they're AI-generated

True. Does it not say or does it even give a fictitious author? Amazon should be held accountable if that's the case.
