This reminds me of an idea I had days ago of using an AI to tell poisonous mushrooms from edible ones apart, from photos.

Then I realized I don't want to be responsible for anyone's death.

What if you limited the range from I don’t know if it’s poisonous to X% likely poisonous vs is/is not poisonous?

Even if you can avoid being liable for it, I'd think most people wouldn't want someone's death hanging over their head for reasons beyond the legal.
