I don't think I'd trust image recognition enough for anything potentially dangerous (deciding if the snake is venomous, deciding if a mushroom is edible, etc.), but good suggestion for satisfying general curiosity!
Yes, I don't trust any of them, but they can give you a general idea and you can narrow down yourself afterwards.
