   @amin may it be mean or does it have to be extremely polite?

2. mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org@toot.mirbsd.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

   @amin "how much glue did it tell you to put in?"

3. paul@notnull.space@notnull.space ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

   @amin "So... How many nails did ChatGPT tell you to put in?"

   Or

   "Wow, I can really taste the gravy"

   @amin

   Immediate change of topic.

   @amin maybe start with “how did that go?” and just listen to the process, listen to the things it told him to do. That gives you space to say “….interesting, I wonder where it got the idea to tell you that. That’s the tough part with a recipe from an LLM, you just don’t know where it gets some ideas, and if it’s not your field of expertise it can be really hard to parse the good ideas from bad ones.”

   Sounds like he was using an LLM as a search engine, basically. You might suggest some reputable sites with large recipe catalogs (hate to recommend NYT in general, but they’d be a good fit here. I like to use Serious Eats) as something less likely to waste his time, since a human being actually tested those recipes, ate the results with their human mouths.

   @amin
   My go to gracious response for food made by others is:
   Thanks for cooking, I appreciate the time and effort.
   Then I try to ask questions about the inspiration and preparation.

   I've made many experimental (self concocted) meals for my family over the years and that's how my wonderful spouse interacts with me.

   Alternatively, a family member on my wife's side used:
   No thanks, that's too yummy!
   when younger.

   @amin
   
   I swear I'm one of the only people that don't hate AI on fedi but AI does not understand flavour.
   
   I like cooking YouTubers to steal my recipes from.
   
   Idk cooking is a complicated thing and like AI isn't good at recipe making. I wish the Internet had better recipe sites because I swear half the recipes I see are ai generated now on the internet.
   
   Idk I kinda Js wanted to yap

   @amin that's kind of you :)

   my two suggestions are:

   1) maybe collect & print out the things he finds the most useful (recipes, routines) so he has them at his disposal in the "real world"

   2) maybe find a recipe book close to what he's been making, like there are lots of "easy" or "lazy" recipe books out there for air fryers, microwaves & whatnot. encouraging his curiosity, but again, tethering it back to an IRL source

   hope you find something that works for you & your dad!
