安徽滁州67岁农户吴大伯在2026年7月10日向AI咨询除草除虫方案后，根据推荐意见用无人机在150亩芝麻田进行全面喷洒[1]。该推荐方案包含高效氟吡甲禾灵和氟磺胺草醚两种除草剂，以及噻虫嗪水分散粒剂和甲维盐两种除虫剂[1]。次日芝麻苗一夜枯萎，预计经济损失约15万元[1]。
农技人员随后证实了推荐方案的错误性，指出氟磺胺草醚是专用于大豆田的阔叶除草剂，严禁用于芝麻田[1]。AI软件的客服随后回应称将核查信息来源[1]。专家表示，AI给出的建议在涉及健康、用药、农业等低容错高风险场景只能作为参考，最终决策必须由专业人员判定或严格核实[1]。
A 67-year-old farmer in Chuzhou, Anhui Province suffered devastating crop losses after following an AI software's recommendation for herbicide and pesticide treatment.[1] On July 10, 2026, Wu consulted the AI platform for guidance on controlling weeds and pests in his sesame fields, and subsequently deployed an unmanned drone to spray the recommended chemicals across 150 acres of sesame seedlings.[1] The following day, the entire crop withered, resulting in an estimated economic loss of approximately 150,000 yuan.[1]
The AI-recommended treatment plan included two herbicides—fluazifop-butyl and flumetsulan—along with two insecticides: thiamethoxam water-dispersible granules and emamectin benzoate.[1] However, agricultural technicians confirmed that the recommendation was fundamentally flawed: flumetsulan is a broad-leaf herbicide designed exclusively for soybean fields and is strictly prohibited for use on sesame crops.[1] When contacted, the AI software's customer service indicated it would investigate the source of the erroneous information.[1]
Experts emphasized that AI-generated content in high-risk, low-tolerance scenarios involving health, medication, and agriculture should only serve as reference material, with final decisions requiring validation by qualified professionals.[1]
