Looks like proof of cheating to me, at least for now. Definitely a step in an interesting direction, but not exactly SkyNet.

That looks like a lot of work with little payoff for a bar bet. I'd have said "Sure, Fred, whatever you say."

This is actually a difficult project for LLMs, because a single bad decision can ruin the whole harvest.

The Corn Demon is alive and well in 2026.

Proof of Corn.

Such a nice term to use as an AI-related alternative to "jump the shark".

I'll definitely be using.

Wait... is this really about growing real physical corn? Where are the photos of the farm or land?

“A farm coordinator doesn’t plant every seed”

Huh? I have no doubt that mega corporate farms have a “farm manager”, but I can tell you having grown up in small town America, that’s just not a thing. My buddies dad’s were “farm manager”, and absolutely planted every seed of corn (until the boys were old enough to drive the tractor and then it was split duty), and the big farms also harvested their own and the smaller ones hired it out.

So unless claude is planning on learning to drive a tractor it’s going to be a pretty useless task manager telling a farmer to do something he or she was already planning on doing.

Proof of corncept was right there!

"AI can't grow corn."

"Hey AI, draft an email asking someone to grow corn. See, AI can grow corn!"

This project is neat in itself, sure, but I feel the author is wayyy missing the point of the original thought.

The perpetual motion machine is only interesting of it generates more energy than you put in.
