bill001g You would think a old farmer would have his lifetime of experience to tell him how he and others have done this. I would never trust AI when it comes to chemicals and food. There are all kinds of stuff that you can only spray on crops during certain parts of their growing cycle. If you spray it at the wrong time you contaminate the food you are trying to harvest. Now maybe if he was looking for those organic solution that use things like dish soap and other common household things maybe. There is a reason commercial farmers use chemicals so these must not be very effective. Reply

tntdyno "started to trust overtime" ai gets worse and worse as time goes on… starts hallucinating Reply

PEnns AI has entered the food chain. What could possibly go wrong?? Too bad AI can't eat the result…but its creators can!! Reply

lrosario0751 I always check, AI can give some really bad information. I'm rebuilding a 1ZZ-FE engine and the AI recommended two 90-degree turns after the initial torquening of the cylinder head bolts, which only require one 90-degree turn for an aluminum block, to avoid stripping the threads.The specs were for a 2ZZ-GE with an iron block!

The problem there is, if you don't know enough about the subject, you don't know when the AI is wrong. And you probably don't know the questions to ask. And if you do know the subject, why are you bothering with the AI? Reply

But that much to me feels like filling or not filling contracracs amount of output. Reply

But that much to me feels like filling or not filling contracracs amount of output. Well, yes. You test first. As with ANY major change. Be it hardware, software, farm, whatever. But too many people are far too trusting of the AI bots. Reply

Communism has nothing to do with absolutely anything in this article. A lot of people have trouble with the difference between "communist" and "authoritarian", it seems. (Yes, China still claims to be communist, and nominally they kind of are. But first and foremost, the CCP is an authoritarian apparatus, and they've been forced to heavily adopt principles of market capitalism to make China economically competitive. Almost as if reducing an entire country's government down to a single label tends oversimplify things.) Reply

Marshetic The article doesn't mention that "flusulfasulfaether" is a completely made-up chemical hallucinated by the AI. Either that's misinformation, or this farmer didn't even realize that was a completely fictional material and put something else in there that they thought was the correct chemical. Reply
