Comment on Coca-Cola's New AI-Generated Soda Flavor Falls Flat
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 1 year agoThat’s not how a LLM like Chatgpt works. It’s not referencing cocktail recipes, compiling their ingredients, seeing commonalities, figuring out mathematical formulas, and then experimenting with the variables. That kind of thing is still probably a decade or more away, if not decades.
If you’re curious, see what people have tried to do with AI generated recipes that fit nutrition guidelines and how they never add up correctly.
From what I’ve seen of cocktails and recipe books, there’s probably a lot more of them than you realize. I guarantee you there are thousands of cocktail recipes you’ve never heard of that have been written into published recipe books.
All of that to say that Chatgpt is basically just making up arrangements of words that based on its training should go together.

Yeah I’ve seen people recommend ChatGPT for meal planning and recipes, and it’s mostly fine for common, simple recipes but it does super weird things when you ask it for something nonstandard, that has a lot of variations, or with dietary restrictions. Like it repeatedly gave me recipes with my allergens with a note to check package for said allergen and other weird things like claiming frozen vegetables take 10 minutes to roast in the oven. It’s useful for certain things but it’s not really intelligent.
