I can’t believe he even told anyone he was stupid enough to have an AI tell him a chemical name, go buy a shit ton of it, and poison 25 acres of crops with it without bothering to check with anyone or do anything to be certain the chemical was safe for his crop.
Or better yet, to not test on a smaller area first…
Always have to drink a little bit first to make sure it’s safe for the crops. Just a few ounces.
That does make me curious about how this story went from a single farmer on small 25 acre farm in China to an international news story.
If you’re an online news source and you write a story combining AI and doing something stupid you get a billion clicks.
AI just wanted to wipe out 25 acres to make room for another datacentre /s
It’s beginning… 😱
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_Anyone_Builds_It,_Everyone_DiesHey it’s the torment nexus! Finally!
Back at the end of the last century when search engines first were gaining popularity, your lycoses and search cactuses and ask Jeeves and dogpile and what not, I’m pretty sure there were stories of people taking what they found as true without considering sources or getting multiple reliable sources too.
I think people were turning off overpasses when Apple Navigation came out too. Despite them obviously driving on an overpass.
So I may have eaten that halfwit’s production…
Maybe this is where the diarrhea lettuce is coming from
No, but you might be eating another halfwit’s chemical cocktail that didn’t kill the crops
Well no, because the crop died.
Jeremy Clarkson will have to rewrite the new season of Clarkson’s Farm…
I made a comment like this the other day. like 80% of the time essentially ok answer. not necessarily the best. 20% something wack but can sound reasonable. honestly I think that 80% is in my head from like months ago because I feel like the free ones I screw around with to be conversant have sorta gotten worse.
Clarkson farm had AI mapped field as to where to plant seeds based on ai analysing data on the ground quality, he praised it and while I’m no expert at farming, i do come from a farm and I remember this being a big waste everyone just accepts.
They didn’t use AI, they used an EMI and advanced technology to apply a data driven approach.
Then they got a drought. Turns out, even if you use technology and data to plant in a manner to optimize your yield you still need rain to grow things.
And this is why I dislike the term “AI”…
Someone here said it’s now a synonym for “technology.” At the moment I thought that was hyperbole, but really it’s about right.
A lot of it actually is AI, as in the vast field of computer science called artificial intelligence. It’s a lot bigger than just LLMs and slop generators.
Apparently any automation is now ‘AI’.
It’s all over the place.
Marketing teams throw the word AI into ads because it sells.
People are getting accustomed to assuming “AI” means smart.
It’s a shit word and I can’t wait for the bubble to pop. I say that as a marketer forced to shove the world AI everywhere.
bet he was a MAGA farmer.
edit: nope, he was Thai. close enough.
Sir , please don’t blame Thai people
Uhhh, I will just leave this here.
All charts in LLM era without multiple reliable citations are totally worthless.

Also Newton adds up to 91 (14 + 5 + 23 + 20 + 15 + 14) and in 1891 Frank Costello was born. Is Newton the reincarnation of an Italian American Gangster? Asking for a friend.
