Poor ad, poor justification for AI usage.

I can't understand how detecting crop infestations could be anything but a good justification for AI. Unless you think they made the ad with AI which I doubt

Unless the farmers community is big on « where is Waldo ? », I have a hard time believing this type of dated playful ad would get them to trust and buy AI tech for such an important matter. But I get your point.

Not being able to detect small infestations is why farmers have to douse all their crops with insecticides. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q5aU-q-71mE

We’re discussing the ad and it’s relevance here, not the tech.

…huh?

you don’t think that the technology they currently use could possibly be related to the discussion about a possible new technology they could use?

Purchase justification? what’s a good justification for you? I’m sure you’re just don’t like AI.

Ironically you not seeing the point is what makes this ad beautiful and well done. Did you see the grasshopper? The point is AI helps you find the stuff that may otherwise be invisible.

I found the locust in about 2 seconds.

I'm pretty sure the point is for you to see it. In reality, you wouldn't. Finding actual bugs on plants is difficult.

It is a fine line: Too hard and no one can find it, defeating the point. Too easy and everyone sees it right away, also defeating the point. As it is, it immediately stands out. It should have made you engage a little longer with the image to find it.

Ai detection model does it in milliseconds. Not language model like gpt, but an actual vision model

Again, we’re discussing the ad and not the tech (and its cost !). IMO, Going the way of a childish hide and seek game is not giving the topic the importance it deserves.

u/mister_electric Jan 08 '26

Ok, but they should have made the locust much harder to find for this ad to be effective.

You are so intern if you think so

u/Kolson3000 Jan 08 '26

So senior of you to say

u/Estogeronium Jan 09 '26

I’m pretty senior to declare that, yup

Thanks for the personal attack. Truly the refuge of someone with nothing to add.

That is about the lamest insult I've ever seen.

u/Kolson3000 Jan 08 '26

You did spot the grasshopper without AI, didn’t you ? How long did it took you ? Why wouldn’t you use a real drone shot for the ad to begin with ?

This is actually a good use of AI: making it easier for a human to find the source of a problem. It's nothing like generative AI that only serves to replace human and mostly artistic labor

This is the opposite of poor AI implementation
