GMO’S and light shows. Hackable? If not it soon will be. Mother earth just can’t catch a break.

This would actually be a great way to use AI, if one could be sure it’s not tampered with and doesn’t destroy crops.

Wonder how many of the good microorganisms are zapped?
More than pesticides, or chemicals?
One would think - it can’t possibly be worse.

Well yeah. Hence, "if one could be sure it’s not tampered with and doesn’t destroy crops.
Was I somehow unclear?
Crops are there.
It’s the life in the soil.
Crops are large.
The microorganisms[bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, archaea, etc.] provide vital ecosystem functions. A single tablespoon of soil contains 50 billion microbes.

You’re right.
I have a Master Gardeners certificate and am always trying to promote good microbe growth in my garden, small as it is now.

No, not at all. I was further emphasizing your statement and stating my own mistrust of AI especially when it comes to food humans ingest.

Sorry about that. Much can be lost on internet blogs.
One thing to remember is that most of the beneficial microbes are deeper in the soil, therefore, if this AI is just the first few inches AND if it were the real thing, meaning truly helpful to agriculture, it might work. Otherwise, no thanks.
