AI is being used in farming to apply herbicide. Cameras on the tractor identify the plants to target and spray them only. It's not so much that it replaces a job as much as it's about limiting chemicals sprayed in a field (reducing input cost and being more friendly to the environment) Robotics has a long way to go before AI can replace some jobs, but the time will come
Yes, and not only that, they now use AI technology to precisely spray nutrients on plants, unlike before when farmers mass-sprayed. So the newest technology is saving money for farmers on materials and not depositing excess nitrogen (thus good for the environment like reducing water pollution). I was amazed that there's good AI / robotics development in the old Midwest. On the other hand, it's in Iowa and Illinois, where there are no Playboy Mansions.
In the real world, many data scientists are balless wonders. What pains me is that many in AI are either geeks or Indian or Chinese opportunists. But I'm biased in observation, as the Bay Area population is not a normal distribution. Google Street View of Sunnyvale shows so many Indian restaurants.
