The 67-year-old farmer was recommended by the AI to use high-efficiency flupyrimethalin and flusulfasulfaether to kill weeds and mix it with thiamethoxazine and methyl salt. As reported by Taiwanese Chinese-language news website CTWANT (via Tom's Hardware), he followed the instructions blindly, failing to check that what he was doing was safe.

It wasn't until the next morning that the farmer realized he shouldn't have been so hasty. Around 24.7 acres of his sesame seedlings were dead.
