The idea is the AI would automatically look at what you have and come up with something, substituting ingredients for what you have as necessary.
Have you tried looking for a recipe in the last 10 years or so? 10 pages of fluff with a recipe the author cobbled together from other recipes and guess work and made exactly 1 time if that at the bottom.
But as in the staged example they've put together here, that required you to find and lay out all your ingredients already so you've already done 90% of the work. Are my AI glasses going to be able to scan all my cupboards and fridge and pantry for things first and then go from there? It's a bad solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.
Yes, all the time, I even looked at recipes for "Korean style steak sauce" to prove my point and got probably a dozen decent ones straight away, including a couple from very well recognised sites like BBC Good Food.
And where exactly do you suppose the LLM has scraped together all it's information from for what you can substitute canola oil or sesame seeds for? Those exact recipes you could just have searched for.
No, the idea is that you wear the glasses all the time and it scans and knows the contents of your house constantly. What brands you like, what products you own, what activities you do and when, what conversations you have, whether or not you like the government, whether or not you own a computer with an ad blocker, what the best entry points are for a SWAT team from ICE, etc.
So it would already know what ingredients you have for making a Korean inspired BBQ sauce, and as long as you were well-mannered and compliant in your home and all the public spaces you visit at all times, it wouldn’t direct you to the re-education camp for further analysis on what radicalized you out of their control.
I don’t understand why you people are so negative about AI and the motivations of these large tech companies creating it on here! Think of how much easier life would be.
Who cares? It's still more convenient.
LOL it demonstrably is not.
You know what would be more useful than this AI and wouldn't cost billions of dollars? If Facebook made a simple recipe that didn't have all that fluff. Instead of having AI try to come up with it in the fly, you could just have premade recipes. Wouldn't that be grand. Oh wait, that wouldn't give the opportunity for the AI to recommend a specific brand of soy sauce or that you buy your spices from Doordash with a 10% discount coupon!
chatGPT as NEVR suggested a specific bran to me. What is it about anti-AI crusading do you think excuses your deliberate misinformation?
Why do you think advertising companies like Google and Meta are dumping so much money into AI? It isn't to make a better product for the user.
Because OpenAI opened up this new front and every other tech company has been trying to catch up since. Because it's a service they can offer people and make money from.
Yeah I guess that's why they've drastically improved in just a few years. Great agument.
If you think that they’re never going to put subtle ads into LLM output then you are really, really unaware of what the tech world is like and how they’re fucking using you
AI deserves to be crusaded against because we cannot trust the motivations of any of its creators. Do YOU trust Mark Zuckerberg??
I know for a fact that the ones I've used have never done that. I don't just mindlessly use them, I evaluate their output. The tech "using me" isn't a surprise, like you single-minded ideologues think. I know what I put in and what use I'm looking to get out of it. It's an extremely useful tool that I'm not going to discard because of angry people with shitty arguments on the internet.
These "crusades" are stupid and pointless. If YOU don't want to use it, THEN DON'T. Get over your rampant arrogance and understand that you're not entitled to order others around.
Bro, people are just sharing opinions on the internet. Nobody even mentioned you, let alone tried to order you to do anything or not do anything.
When we hear people criticising things that are important to us, it's easy to react as though 'criticising x thing = saying I'm wrong for liking that thing = criticising my judgement', but that's a fallacy we've all got to be more aware of.
People are going to say they dislike things. That's a very central feature of humanity and free speech. And sometimes, people will have different opinions to you. That's also a central feature of humanity.
So if you want people to be free to criticise things, and you don't want to exist in an echo chamber of people just agreeing with whatever you say, you do actually want people to sometimes say they dislike things that you like. Where everyone falls down is: you don't have to join every conversation that you disagree with. You don't even have to read it.
There are entire communities full of people who dislike puppies and Ben & Jerry's and comfy clothes. I legit think some of them are a danger to society and would be personally offended if I had to debate their reasoning. But the great thing is, I don't have to. So I don't. There is no benefit to anybody in me spending my time and energy arguing with weirdos that puppies are cool, apart from the social media trend of getting people addicted to rage, and I don't really want to facilitate that.
So they can all have their weird opinions and debate then together. And I can engage in discussions that don't upset or enrage me (most of the time. It's a tough habit to kick).
And everyone is a little happier, except the people trying to make the western world angrier, and screw them.
The same pressures that made internet search suck applies to AI doing search as well.
Cooking is my favorite use of AI. It has completely changed the way I eat, which is much healthier. I also try new things I never would have before. I load up on healthy ingredients, spices and sauces and let it do it's thing. You can always have it mix it up, or focus on an ingredient that's more perishable, or focus on something that may be expiring soon. The variability is endless. I've been cooking every day for months, never once made the same thing twice.
So your saying you are dumb. Gotcha
