I think it's like, "I want to help in an industry I don't know anything about". This is not scalable. I understand that this person would like to help, but this is not the help that Farmers and needed.
I wonder if he asked farmers about their problems before creating this project.
The negativity comes from the fact that it's obviously stupid to spend $4000 on an AI robot that waters plants on a single small plot of land. The selling point of this product is "I want fresh food but I don't want to garden" which is much better served by going to a market and buying the food from a farmer.
I would argue that negativity comes from you even if the project is not that great yet. But i see passion, openness and someone trying to tackle a very big problem. What did you do today? I tell you what I did… i have been negative with post that are negative about a project. So peace on earth and hopefully we can make together a better world.
Okay Mr. High Horse. My issue with them isn't passion, it's pride. Every other week some tech-minded person will look at something which works perfectly well and think "I know nothing about this but I'm sure it could be improved with a robot". The robot is almost always a bad idea because it doesn't take into account the actual needs and wants of the people it's being sold to, and sometimes those people are forced to use it anyway. The only reason it exists is because its creators know about technology and when all you have is a hammer your problems start to look like nails.
