Are you sure the answer you're getting from AI about the weight of ginger is right? Before AI I would trust the answer from a smart speaker. Now I don't trust anything any AI produces that should be fact-based. (Turning on lights and TV I would trust because I can see the results myself.)
Amazon Alexa isn't AI yet, it's still just a smart speaker, and I don't remember an instance it's fucked up an answer to a quantity/weight question so badly i had to go back and research what it should have been
Funnily enough, I've had more trouble using Gemini than the previous assistant for simple tasks like setting up a countdown. At least it loads faster, I guess.
A teaspoon is 5g right? So half would be 2.5g or does it depend on the item in question?
It depends on the density of the ingredient, as well as the packing density, e.g. coarse vs. fine salt makes quite a difference.
Which is why it's silly to use volume in cooking which is why Americans are doing it.
Thanks. This makes perfect sense and I agree I think recipes should use weight. I don’t know what a cup of flour is but I do know how to weight out 200g.
