      Oh noes it’s almost like you need intuition to successfully cultivate life

      not everything needs to be ai, it has uses, sure, but you can’t slap it on everything like butter and expect it to be edible.

      We barely have self driving cars. Y’all really thought this was a good idea…

      Its almost like AI cant do the real work for you and it can only regurgitate the easy shit

      It’s a hard task to make a regular tractor and here they tried to make a tractor plus ai software for it.

      Even with 300 millions it’s not easy.

      As I read this, there’s a ChatGTP ad on TV promoting AI and farming LOL

      Farmers are technologically progressive, but Tractors with GPS steering are enough already. And drones can already assist with surveying crops.

      There’s nothing (for farmers) to be gained from adding more AI to a tractor. Especially since farmers already hate the tractor industry (really John Deere’s for their lockdown on maintenance)

      It’s like somebody just saw Interstellar and thought, „Yeah! that’s my ticket to being the next tech scion!“

      This seems like a really bad use case for AI anyway. Automation has already covered pretty much everything that can be managed automatically without buzzword systems getting involved. There’s still a bit of room for more automation, but that requires technological improvements on equipment and software, which is nothing AI integration can assist with.

      “Aside from O’Connor’s usability complaints, multiple tractor dealerships have suedMonarch for allegedly selling defective tractors, TechCrunch reported last November. The company denied the claims in court, but Monarch’s attorneys in at least one of the cases have stopped representing the company out of concern that it won’t be able to pay its legal fees, according to Pleasanton Weekly.”

      They’re going to be brought up on fraud charges, right?! 
      Just like any other founders who did similar with capital raised.

      From some of these comments I doubt many have actually been on a farm or know any farmers. I grew up in the rural midwest, most farmers still do everything with basic tractors and maybe some help from more modern technology. What some here seem to think is all farms are these big corporate farms that span hundreds of acres of land.

      There is already very robust automation software farmers already use. This is trying to do something that was already done better. I hope AI keeps failing. It’s a bane on society.

      I’ve been seeing these for sale on facebook marketplace for low prices. That was a bad sign.
