While I get that lots of people love the anti-AI "moral" of this story - it's 25 acres of sesame seedlings. Less than 4% of one piddly square mile. This isn't even a sliver of a rounding error on how many crops are lost every single day, due to farmers making all sorts of "turned out badly" decisions.

The scale of the fallout isn't the issue here. This guy has presumably been farming for years and, like so many people in other professions, just started turning his brain off and doing whatever the computer said.
This should be a wake-up call, but it probably won't be. If these mistakes start happening on an industrial scale, people will die.
