    I’m not sure confusing Zucs for Cucs is such a big worry, I’m a botanist and might confuse them in the wrong light

      According to a new study, one in five young people (aged 15 to 24) are unable to identify a zucchini in a photo, with 18% seeing it as a cucumber and 2% as an aubergine. The report also suggests a significant number of young people have difficulty maintaining a healthy, balanced diet.

      Yea I guess the conclusion they’re going for is that younger people don’t eat them. A better test would be placing them in front of the foods and having them decide, or even just asking them directly.

      I’d also like to see this same study repeated with various generative AIs to see what they say
