A spokesperson for the supermarket said they were disappointed to see “a small minority have tried to use the tool inappropriately and not for its intended purpose”.

“You must use your own judgement before relying on or making any recipe produced by Savey Meal-bot.”

I can't stop laughing

I love when businesses skirt responsibility for something they lazily implemented.

When I ask the recipe-program to make something of plywood, lighter fluid and a pregnancy test, then I deserve, what's coming.

It's on them to make their tool at least decently idiot proof.

My own judgment is to not use tools like that at all. Nor to give money to the corporations who try to push them on us.

I kinda would like an app that tells me what I can make from the ingredients I already have. But I'd like it better if they just filtered existing recipes.
