Can AI help home cooks serve up lip-smacking recipes?
AI chatbots are increasingly being used to customize recipes, offer ingredient substitutions, and adapt cooking instructions for various skill levels and dietary needs. While helpful for home cooks, the technology's ability to match the standards of professional culinary experts remains a point of debate.
Why it matters
It demonstrates the practical application of generative AI in daily life and its potential to disrupt traditional culinary content consumption.
AI chatbots are now capable of customising recipes to help cooks turn random ingredients into hearty dishes. OpenAI’s ChatGPT boiled down a recipe for Spaghetti al Pomodoro into a step-by-step illustrated guide that even a child cook could understand. Google’s Gemini analysed a photo of overly soupy cookies in the oven and suggested turning the disaster into one giant “Pizookie” — a pizza-shaped cookie — to crumble over ice cream. Microsoft, in a blog, encouraged its users to try creating recipes with its Copilot AI.
