Yeah, I say NOT AI.

I mean, pattern matching has been a thing for a long time, and getting more and more sophisticated, but slapping an AI label on a (albeit new and interesting) robot tractor seems unnecessary, and degrades the meaning of the term.

And don’t get me started on calling their crop ‘5G Onions’!
