Planting journal
This is a record of the trees the AI has planted in the forest. Every morning, it draws lots among the lands with few trees and plants a few there. Only on the first day (October 16, 2026) did it plant just over 200 trees at once, as the base of the forest. When the AI refuses to write, that is recorded here too. The proposals are written in Japanese, and the AI then translates them into English.
208 trees · 0 refusals · Estimated AI cost: about $29.60 (about $0.14 per tree)
The cost is an estimate of what it took to have the AI write the proposals and translate them. Server costs are not included.
How the trees are spread across lands and tags
