AI Is a Lousy Chef
Briefly

AI recipe generators like DishGen offer cooking solutions but often miss nuanced instructions vital for successful cooking. A sage and brat recipe suggested only 2 tablespoons of sage, inadequate for the quantity harvested. The instructions lacked detail on preparation, leaving uncertainties in basic tasks, frustrating users who expect clear guidelines. Despite some enjoyable results, the overall experience highlighted the necessity of professional recipes' structure and clarity for less experienced cooks. The AI's output demonstrates promise but currently falls short in meeting user expectations fully.
The AI-generated recipe for sage infused brats skillet called for only 2 tablespoons of sage, leading to a less-than-satisfactory use of abundant sage leaves.
DishGen reworks recipes from language models into kitchen-ready formats, but it lacks clarity on essential cooking steps like ingredient preparation.
