However, Phyto-info is not responsible for what these sources tell us. We only report them in a different format.

Fuck AI

In just a few clicks, this page could be generated in a very attractive and convincing way by an LLM, in other words by a Large Language Model.

Of course, some sources would be invented, but it would still be appealing. Some of the dosages might be incorrect, but it would still be attractive. Some toxicities would be omitted, but it would at least have the merit of being produced in a few seconds.

But no, we wrote this page the old-fashioned way. By reading books and typing on a keyboard with our real little fingers. The internet seems to forget this; it's important not to say just anything.
