I recently collected some buckeye nuts from the woods to plant near my home, and they've started germinating quite well. However, I'm curious about how long it could take for these saplings to produce flowers and nuts. While searching for information online, I came across a gardening article that gave some strange advice. For example, it suggested cutting down a healthy tree before planting bucks and removing its bark to prepare for new growth, which seems completely irrelevant to simply planting a nut. Additionally, it mentioned the tree being endangered in Ohio, which seems incorrect. Has anyone else noticed that a lot of gardening articles online, especially those that seem AI-generated, are filled with misleading or nonsensical information?

I've definitely noticed that AI often gets it wrong about 80% of the time, especially when I know the topic. But when I know nothing about it, it often sounds correct. It’s frustrating! For example, try asking AI about native bee balm species in Maryland. It lists the wrong ones and only gives you two out of the four that actually exist. It feels like AI is too focused on reinforcing misconceptions instead of giving accurate information.
Absolutely! It's shocking how AI doesn't even get the basics right. I've tried the same with various plants and it's always a mess.
