I respectfully disagree, while you might be able to get some pointers, I would not trust LLMs with the ingredients quantities (given that replacing a number or measure unit is quite easy and would go unnoticed)
So while I could understand asking: "should I put bell peppers on this dish?", I would never trust it's answer to "how much bell pepper should I put in the recipe?" (Which I believe is what recipes are about)
I mean to be fair, you're free to click on the links if you want to verify these things no?
So since we have to manually verify everything anyway, the LLM just becomes a mere search engine.
This contradicts the entire point you claimed it was useful in the first place because we would still have to visit those websites.
Why do I feel like I'm teaching toddlers how basic AI works
Because you're being a pretentious asshole and you yourself do not understand how AI works, nor can you argue against "it isn't reliable for recipes since it hallucinates"? It's either that, or you are the only smart person in this thread. Not sure which.
This is how it goes:
You guys are just as bad as trump supporters

Look out you'll die if you use AI to make some food! Don't even use it for recommendations or ideas or maybe different things you can try or maybe you want to know a way to do a specific thing or try a slight variant because you might drink battery acid by mistake!!!1
If you prefer instant gratification and "good enough" over robust, verifiable information: be my guest. But it doesn't make you superior. You are not unique, skilled or brave for using LLMs.
I think virtually everyone here has played with them. We've all seen better and worse outputs. You are not unique, you just care less about truth and accuracy.
Random websites are robust, verifiable information now are they? How times change
30 years ago I was told they are unreliable and to use books in the library for research
20 years ago I was told using WebMD was unreliable, after all it will just say you have cancer laugh out loud! Using the internet for medical information? Crazy!
I wonder where we'll be in 20 or 30 years time
Hopefully somewhere less impatient and stupid. Won't know where your arrogant ass is though, since you're about to be blocked :-)
What makes you believe I haven't used AI before? I'm well acquainted with it. But it simply isn't a reliable or useful tool for what you want to do with it. You want to make lesson plans or debug code with it, it works well as a sounding board. But you cannot reliably use it for information you don't already have.
Why use the AI in the first place then? Just search for the actual recipe sources from the start.
Did you just ask the AI why you should use the AI?
This is how the planet dies. Just burning fossil fuels asking a text generator why you shouldn't eat glue.
Oh, I didn't know they do links now
In this case I'll give you that it can be useful (mostly in reading several recipes and summarizing), but personally I'm still going to do the old school web search (if anything, just to exercise my information retrieval skill, which I believe is important)
