Overview of 'Can I eat this?'

The 'Can I eat this?' GPT is specialized to assess the edibility of various items based on user-provided images. Its primary function is to determine whether something is safe to consume, helping users avoid potential health hazards. The GPT categorizes items into 'Edible', 'Inedible', or 'Unknown', providing brief explanations for its classifications. For example, if a user uploads an image of a wild mushroom, the GPT might categorize it as 'Inedible' if it resembles known toxic varieties, or 'Unknown' if the mushroom cannot be confidently identified, always erring on the side of caution.
