alt Hacker NewsPeople 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?

let's take a second to think about the threat vectors here. The two obvious ones I can think of are: "AI hallucinates and tells you to put non-food into the food" and "AI hallucinates and gives you unsafe prep instructions" (e.g. "heat the chicken to an internal temperature of 110 degrees"). For both of those, it's not clear why "random recipe from an internet blog" is safer than something the AI generates. At some level if someone is preparing your food you need to trust that they know how to prepare food, no matter where they're getting their instructions from.
Because it assumes the person actually making the food has no common sense?
People get things wrong all the time as well, so I wouldn't trust them either.
Someone once try to feed me dinner from a recipie they found on the internet. I punched their lights out and then called the cops.
Dunno about you, but I like the increased viscosity in my sauces when I use glue:
Because I hope that someone who's hands were required to assemble the recipe didn't blindly add ingredients like "bleach" if the AI happened to hallucinate them.
