AI creates world’s largest lime & other stories


I’ve, of course, seen the AI complaints on the sub, but hadn’t experienced any firsthand until now.

I think what’s most disappointing for me was I have/had no way of knowing the meals were AI until the recipe card was delivered. The stock recipes images look relatively normal. However, once the box was delivered and the recipes were also available in full on the app, you can clearly see this is nonsense.

To add to that, it wasn’t my favorite meal. I’m not sure if it just plain wasn’t good or if I subconsciously didn’t enjoy it because I don’t think a human developed this recipe at all.

I’ll probably be joining the cancel train soon.

    Humans develop and test every meal. Not sure where this AI recipe creation nonsense started. Some images are AI, but the recipes are absolutely written and tested by HF employees in HF test kitchens.

    I’ve very impressed by the way the very square bits of meat in the pan turned into strips on plating. Hats off to the chef! /s

    But what was wrong with the meal or directions themselves?

    If they are real recipes created by the HF kitchen then I want the pictures to reflect them making the actual meal, no AI needed in any part of this progress. Why should anyone pay for a product that is not accurately reflected?

    I’m going to cancel due to this shit. Any better alternatives?

    I think once this year wraps up I’m joining the cancel train. It’s so upsetting.
