We have models that are specifically made to be good at these kinds of tasks. Why would you choose the ones that aren't and then make generalizing claims about how AI sucks in this domain?
Considering that people are somewhere around 70% water, that would make sense.
I grew up in a multigenerational home. Grandparents spoke one language, my parents spoke another. Used to play with the neighbours a lot and picked up a third language from them. Then started elementary school and learned a fourth there. It seems to work well to have each person in your life exclusively using one language.
But now you have the means to change that with a free $15!
Isn't the top-left image Cupid (i.e. a god)?
Even the dating market demands experience for an entry level position now.
And also waking up
The food wouldn't be in a form factor where they can turn sideways and get lodged in your throat. It's so unpleasant when that happens.
Interrogate them if it's necessary. Until they stop with the "Do as much as you like" and instead instruct you with "Put about a cup of X and about a quarter of Y by volume". If you got this you are nore prepared for the measure by eye and feel.
I get around this by asking them to make the specifics dish, gathering all the ingredients for them, then weighing everything before and after to get exact numbers.
It really is a matter of "do as much as you like", but without an intuition on how different ingredients taste and affect the dish at varying quantities, you're not going to know how much you like. So getting that starting point to experiment with is very important.
Cooking can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. Could it be that you're having problems because you're going too far into the complicated end?
If you care to share how things usually go wrong for you, maybe you'll get some useful tips in return.
Maybe an advantage of this setup is that you ensure that your bus factor is high and you're constantly testing it to make sure it stays high? Kind of like how Netflix uses ChaosMonkey.
Plateaus will happen, and part of the journey is figuring out how to break through them. It usually comes down to one of two possibilities: pushing yourself too hard, or not hard enough.
What does it mean to be pushing too hard? Your body needs to recover from the workouts and grow bigger/stronger. This means needing adequate food/sleep/rest and low stress. All of these variables affect each other. If you eat less, sleep less, or have a generally more stressful life, you'll have to go easier on your workouts to compensate. I understand that you don't have full control over your diet, and that's fine. We make do with what we have, and you still have control over your workouts. Some options to consider:
What about not pushing hard enough? For that, you need to get a feel for what it's like to push hard. Renaissance Periodization's YouTube channel had a bunch of these "Training muscle X with person Y" videos, and they tend to be very good demonstrations of what it looks like to push hard. Keep in mind that workouts like these should be the minority of your overall workout plan if they're even there at all, but it's good to know what to aim for when you do have those days scheduled.
I'm my opinion, focusing on strength training is a good idea when everything else is suboptimal. A lot of gains can be made on the powerlifting movements by just practicing and optimizing your technique.
