Hell, doesn’t really work in temperate zones ether to be honest. It gets common house/yard plants well but if you go into actual wild-ish areas it will give you 5 different answers from five different angles of the same plant.
I downloaded google lense a while back to identify a mushroom. It was pretty and I was curious. After installing and taking the picture it replied… “Mushroom.”
The second image said false widow’s death wish or something metal as hell.
I would literally code it to identify every mushroom as a destroying angel or some such. Not worth the liability.
Yah, mushrooms are not that hard to identify if you know what to look for. I worry people who do not know what to look for will be far too confident with such an imperfect tool.
Especially with the growth of demand for foraged mushrooms in restaurants and supermarkets. It’s big money, and I have no doubt some “enterprising” people are going to get people hurt by trusting these tools too much.
And it would be less of a problem if it showed all options that are likely, instead of just the one it thinks is most likely.
“Haha Google says this is safe, I’ll try it”
“Why is my entire skin numb”
Same here for the southern hemisphere. Google lens has no clue.
How does Plantnet fare in tropics?
From my experience it’s quite good in the Caribbean and it’s getting better.
Cool, thanks for the info!
pictures you can hear
“picture this” is a terrible name choice, but a really good app for identifying plants
haha this is going to kill someone
My brain read “pants”, I didn’t understand the connection with latitude… Thanks, brain.
