      Again it’s not that the good resources don’t exist, it’s that AI floods the search with garbage. Also, AI isn’t just writing garbage books, they’re also making AI generated websites that are SEO optimized beyond human capability pushing the good resources out of the top search results.

        Which is why they suggested finding an organization/association, not an arbitrary website.

        Funnily enough, chatgpt should be able to recommend some great associations. GPT-3 doesn’t even have up-to-date databases so it doesn’t even know about any new AI things that have popped up.

        So find a real group of people, ask them things.

          How does one start searching for an organization/association? My first instinct, and pretty much everyone I know’s first instinct, would be to search online for a mycology group, which is likely surrounded by other highly SEO optimized AI generated mycology group website. And then you go to a meet that doesn’t exist, and you try the next group you found online and find that group doesn’t exist, ad infinitum.
