[–] TheSpookiestUser@lemmy.world [S] 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Agree. "Chatbot outputs ridiculous response when given ridiculous inputs" gets old. This was at least funny. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago Though I would say that it spitting out recipes for things that aren't even ingredients indicates that it's not a useful tool. It's not basing recipe recommendations on any knowledge of food, cooking, flavours, textures, or chemistry. Seems like it's just arbitrarily fitting a list of ingredients into some other patterns. If it doesn't understand "this isn't a safe ingredient", I doubt it understands anything about what ingredients that aren't poison would go well together, other than ones it has seen paired in it's training set. permalink fedilink source parent
