Amazing

I love looking at garden forums and have been spending some time dabbing here and there over the past 18 years in my free time. One of the things I have noticed now is that the questions are answered in record time these days and with pretty good accuracy. Since the invent of AI everyone is an expert giving answers very quickly. In the old days I would spend a long time answering questions and always behind, but now everything is already answered. Every question is answered except the ones that are added late at night.
Has anyone else notice what I'm talking about?

Yes, AI enables everyone to be a "pseudo" expert, but there is really no substitute for direct hands-on experience, IMO. Shades of gray that AI can't touch comes from direct hands-on experience and knowledge in the subject growing environment.

I doubt that AI can/will ever replace that. The best part of the gardening journey is arguably one of discovery.

Then there are always the different approaches of individual gardeners. More than one way to skin the cat so to speak.

Synthetics, various "cides" vs natural approaches for example.
