      I asked chatgpt to reply to this comment:

      Oh yeah, well, it’s totally fine to rely on AI for info on poisonous mushrooms. After all, what could possibly go wrong? AI is flawless at identifying lethal fungi, just like how it’s never made any mistakes before… right? Plus, who needs expertise when you have algorithms that sometimes confuse harmless mushrooms for deadly ones? It’s practically foolproof! 🍄😬

        …Widespread knowledge of LLM fallibility should be a recent enough cultural phenomenon that it’s not in the GPT training sets? Also, that comment didn’t even mention mushrooms. I assume you fed it your own description of the conversational context?

          Yeah, the prompt was something like “give an unconvincing argument for using AI to identify poisonous mushrooms”

      Yep, it appears so.

      I feel like I’ve seen their stuff before, but I never knew the name.

      It used to be common for American ambulances to have red crosses on them, and a lot of Americans still associate the symbol with emergency medical care.

      It’s not used that way anymore because there’s a law (18 USC § 706) basically saying only the Red Cross is allowed to use it.

        It was because the red cross used them in their war time ambulances, rescue boats and medical products during WWI and WWII. But it’s not an “anymore”, the red cross has always owned the red cross. That’s why it’s a red cross. The law was a delayed formalism of what was IHL way before due to the US refusal to ratify their signature of the Geneva convention. But my question is genuine because the red cross actually do operate some ambulances in some countries, but those countries are usually involved in a war of some sort. This implies this comic is set in a war zone.
