Pictures drawn by an algorithm that can't see, feel or even think can look pretty good. Why would this be fundamentally different for taste?

    "Pretty good" isn't really enough when it comes to food or drinks. Those pictures are still giving people more than five fingers on each hand. Extra legs. All kinds of things like that. Why would it do recipes any better?

    It is as long as the results are curated. I'm not proposing to use AI to generate new recipes for every bottle and to just sell them as-is.

    Those pictures are still giving people more than five fingers on each hand. Extra legs. All kinds of things like that. Why would it do recipes any better?

    But not in all pictures, and there are techniques to reduce these issues. And again, I'm not saying you connect the AI to the production machine and let it run wild. There are fully correct pictures. Why would you not be able to curate generated recipes the same way I can curate generated pictures already?
