LLMs have literally zero value in any context vaguely related to any kind of advanced computer vision project. It is fundamentally impossible for them to improve the capability of a mushroom recognition app in any way.

It's not misinformation to state the fact that it's an absolute certainty that anyone claiming to use an LLM to identify a mushroom is a scammer.
