Is it suggesting recipes it found, or recipes it "created"? It's an important distinction.
Man say what you will about chatGPT recipies. All im gonna say is that since adding PVA to my pizza toppings my cheese has stayed exactly where it should!
What difference does that make? You need to know the basics and you need to use critical thinking. Making new recipes is just trial and error. ChatGPT just gives suggestions. If it suggests something you’ve never heard of you double check it using a reputable resource.
Nah if it tells you to put bleach in there you listen because, according to lemmy, you have no free will.
Be quiet and eat your beans
People here want to dislike AI so bad that as soon as it says something wrong, they disqualify the entire technology.
We don't hate the technology. We hate that people who have zero idea how computing works think they are being so unique by boiling our oceans so they can put glue on pizza. If people were slightly less lazy pieces of shit with any morals, they'd find a way to cook without enabling the downfall of humanity. But humans are idiots, and are going to take the easiest path possible, instead of using tools we've had for decades.
If we had more autistic folks with a strong sense of justice, we'd be a lot better off.
It's generating recepies. So you can say you want certain ingredients and you don't like others, ask it to make a list of stuff you could try, and you will get that. Also, you can ask it during cooking exactly how to cut the pieces for best result, or if you want something more spicy and so on. It's much better than a static recepie. This is more like being able to talk about a dish and adjust it according to your taste, replace certain ingredients if you like, and so on.
Im using it daily and prefer it very much to browsing recepie sites.
Okay, you're using it was a random number generator and search engine. That's fine. I'd be concerned if someone used it to create recipes... and for the record, I'd be just as distrustful of a person who has never cooked in their lives suggesting recipe modifications, too.
