People talk about AI getting things wrong all the time, why is it "so clearly irrational" to be doubtful of a recipe that might include ingredients that can make you sick?

I could see being concerned about food safety; I wouldn't trust an AI recipe to tell me how long/what temperature to cook chicken, and I might not trust someone who uses AI to generate recipes to know either.

but was it done with GPT-5.4 xhigh with an adversarial loop?

First thanksgiving dinner?

I interpret it as an expression of disgust. Similar to how people will stop reading and throw away a good book when they learn the author is a morally reprehensible person.

Really? I can think of a few reasons I wouldn't trust AI-generated recipes.

lol = if you're against AI recipes, you have bigger problems.

The very fact that your takeaway from that story was "look at how dumb my enemies are" is why this is a conflict worth worrying about.

Are you right? Yeah, basically. Are you going to laugh at your stupid neighbors until they burn your house down in rage? Maybe? You don't treat fear with malice.

I mostly agree that it's an overreaction. However, "irrational" is a really bad choice of word. Every non-technical person understands that sometimes AI says wrong things - like, random, crazy wrong things, not just a little off. It's just a general rule kept in the back of the mind. Food is easily in that realm of "be careful". Did the AI produce a recipe that would be harmful to you and the cook didn't notice? Almost certainly not. So, sure, they were being over-cautious. But "irrational"? No, no, no. It's definitely rational.

Look at what you're writing.

"Doing X is so clearly irrational that I chuckled a bit."

Please don't perpetuate the image of the elitist techie. That is what was just firebombed.
