AI Disclaimer
Last updated: January 2025
SpideyAI uses artificial intelligence to analyze plant photos and provide care recommendations. Please read this disclaimer to understand the capabilities and limitations of our AI technology.
Nature of AI Recommendations
SpideyAI's diagnoses and recommendations are generated by machine learning algorithms trained on plant health data. While we strive for accuracy, our AI:
- Provides probabilistic assessments, not definitive diagnoses
- May not identify all possible conditions
- Works best with clear, well-lit photos
- May be less accurate for rare or unusual conditions
- Cannot physically examine plants or perform laboratory tests
Not a Replacement for Professional Advice
SpideyAI is designed for home gardeners and educational purposes. Our recommendations should not be considered a substitute for:
- Professional agricultural consultants
- Certified plant pathologists
- Extension service experts
- Laboratory plant disease testing
For commercial crops, significant investments, or complex issues, we recommend consulting with qualified agricultural professionals.
Treatment Recommendations
Our treatment suggestions are based on common practices and available research. However:
- Effectiveness may vary based on specific conditions
- Some treatments may not be available or legal in all regions
- Always read and follow product labels
- Consider environmental impact and local regulations
- Test treatments on a small area first when possible
Accuracy and Continuous Improvement
Our AI models are continuously trained and improved. Current accuracy rates are:
- Common pests: ~95% accuracy
- Common diseases: ~93% accuracy
- Nutrient deficiencies: ~90% accuracy
- Rare conditions: Lower accuracy rates
These figures are based on internal testing and may vary in real-world conditions.
Photo Quality Impact
Diagnosis accuracy depends heavily on photo quality. For best results:
- Use good natural lighting
- Focus clearly on the affected area
- Include close-up and wider context shots
- Avoid blurry or dark images
- Show both affected and healthy plant parts
Limitation of Liability
SpideyAI and its creators are not liable for:
- Plant damage or loss resulting from following our recommendations
- Incorrect diagnoses or missed conditions
- Adverse effects from suggested treatments
- Economic losses related to crop damage
Users assume full responsibility for decisions made based on SpideyAI's recommendations.
