What exactly are we doing here? With this tool, we're learning what AI is useful for - and what it's useful for.

  • AI needs direction: We specify as much information as possible so that AI has a direction to go in. Rather than asking it for a "meal," we ask it for dinner. Rather than asking it for anything, we ask it for "Italian."
  • AI isn't always right: But as much as we might want it to be, AI isn't always right. Baking, for instance, is a science. A chocolate cake recipe might come out fine - it's got enough training data. But ask it to make a customized sticky toffee pudding, and it will likely fail.

But consider...​

Did you ever have a "cultural day" in school? Different foods from different peoples? Most of us did. Food is about more than just food - for many people it's a cultural and familial journey. Food is how we show love and how we connect.

Beyond language, beyond history, there is always food. The way to greet a guest is to feed them. The way to care for someone sick is to cook for them.

Does automating the process take the love out? Does it strip away the history and meaning behind ingredients? Does AI exist without context - without an understanding of New World and Old World ingredients?

And does it matter to you?
