Li Liang, the Vice President of Douyin Group, has announced that Doubao has reached out to the user affected by the incident involving the 'misidentification of a mushroom, which led to the user's poisoning.' Based on the information received, the user employed Doubao to photograph and identify mushrooms gathered from their residential vicinity. Doubao classified them as 'Coprinus comatus,' yet it also issued a clear caution that this mushroom type is often mistaken for the highly poisonous Chlorophyllum molybdites, and consuming it could trigger severe gastroenteritis symptoms, thus strongly recommending against the consumption of wild-picked mushrooms. Doubao further highlighted the significant risk associated with identifying wild mushrooms, noting that relying solely on visual images cannot guarantee the complete exclusion of toxic look-alikes with absolute certainty.

Li Liang further elaborated that AI technology is still in its nascent stages of development, and Doubao is persistently striving to enhance its identification precision. Regarding matters that concern personal safety, the responses provided by AI are intended solely as references, and it is crucial to cross-verify information from multiple sources. Moreover, he cautioned that mushrooms or other fruits collected from residential areas, even if they are non-toxic, may still contain pesticide residues and thus are not advisable for consumption.
