Experts are warning foragers to avoid using Google Images to identify mushrooms after the search engine is delivering misleading AI-generated results. Searches for a number of common edible mushrooms return wildly inaccurate images as the top result, despite these images being flagged as AI-generated. Foraging experts warn this could lead to dangerous, if not deadly, errors for foragers trying to identify safe mushrooms to eat. Professor David Hawksworth, a mycologist from the University of Southampton, told MailOnline: 'This is potentially extremely dangerous.' However, experts routinely warn that it isn't safe to pick up and eat mushrooms that we find on the ground - even if we think we can tell a safe species apart from a dangerous one.

Machines may yet take over the world, but first they must learn to recognize your dog. To hear Google executives tell it at their annual developer conference this week, the technology industry is on the cusp of an artificial intelligence, or AI, revolution. Computers, without guidance, will be able to spot disease, engage humans in conversation and creatively outsmart world champions in competition. Such breakthroughs in machine learning have been the stuff of science fiction since Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. "I'm incredibly excited about the progress we're making," CEO Sundar Pichai told a crowd of 7,000 developers at Google I/O from an outdoor concert stage.

The beloved trio of Top Gear presenters is long gone, but another pillar of the BBC's most popular show endures: spectacular stunts in exotic locales, with cars that drill dimples into your cheeks. That explains why even in the, let's just say mixed reviews of the new crew's first episode, no one complained about the American's star turn. In a 10-minute segment, new host Matt LeBlanc took the dirt-spitting Ariel Nomad for a run through the Moroccan desert, dodging "villains" riding motorcycles, flying drones, and doing whatever it is you do with a paramotor. The 47,000 Nomad is the off-road sibling to the bonkers Atom, so it obviously struck the Top Gear guys as something "we can have a lot of fun with," says series producer Alex Renton. He's been with the show for 11 years and got the top job for this, its 23rd season. Putting LeBlanc behind the wheel brought a dose of comedy to an already silly car and the 30-person "traveling circus" that descended on Northern Africa for three days in February.
