> The prompt was adapted from the one used in the iAPS open-source automated insulin delivery system — it’s a real production prompt, not a toy example.

True, but I'm working on a product that's "adjacent to" this sort of thing, and we also have a "food recognition" feature that's marked as experimental. Our users are using it, and now I plan to push fairly hard on at least measuring the accuracy and hopefully exposing those results to our users regardless of how well it performs.
Exactly. This is not paid software. We assume full responsibility for outcomes when using it. There's a reason it's not on any app store. I'm glad features like this are being experimented with. Not how I would use AI to estimate carbs...
