Anyone who needs an AI bot to tell them what to do with salmon, lemon, and tomatoes deserves whatever is coming to them honestly
Absolutely hilarious how lame all this sounds www.nytimes.com/2024/06/10/t...

Very helpful, AI, thank you!

It’s very weird that Apple managed to do a 30-minute intro of actually useful AI stuff (especially stuff like “figure out when my mom’s plane lands” when you don’t know if you had it in email or test), then showed a half-hearted thing with chatGPT, and that’s the headline.

Slice salmon into thin rings and put on top of lemons. Bake in oven.

I like my lemon steaks poached

Blend up the salmon and tomatoes to poach your lemons in

Salmon costs like $15 a pound, who buys salmon without already knowing what they were planning to do with it?
Avatar
Gotta get the whole side, usually comes out to about $9 per. Cut into fillets, freeze, you’re golden.

I was going to say that I'm the kind of person who does this, but it's because I buy a share in a fishing boat and get ~50 lbs at a time. And to be fair to @braak.bsky.social , I don't think the kind of person who buys salmon that way is the kind of person who wonders how they should prepare it.

50 lbs of salmon at a time

what does a share in a fishing boat cost?
Avatar
$296 for a single share, which is ~21 lbs of fish (we get two shares, my guess at 50 lbs was close-ish, but a little off)

i think a lot of people making these decisions about AI haven’t had to do anything for themselves in a decade

You just add rocks and glue, right?

Grill the salmon, eat the tomatoes raw, make lemonade.

This is exactly what I would do, seriously.

They gave an example of cheesecake this morning. Siri will come up with a cheesecake recipe based on the internet, and I can’t imagine why anyone would trust such a thing. It’s like ChatGPT telling you to clean with bleach and vinegar at the same time

One of these days, someone's gonna get a hare-brained answer just like that from it and then there's gonna be lawsuits because they followed the advice, ignorantly. That is what it will take to put the nail in this AI mania, tbh.

Oh, it's already done that

This is the most “really, we mean no harm” example, hahah.

But is it still possible to eat them if you've run out of glue?

Made me think about this scene

It’s like nah, I don’t need to think, AI will do that for me. I just OBEY.

The trouble is that humanity as a whole does kind of deserve it, but a lot of—maybe most— individual people don’t. It’s a significant moral problem.

AI bot: "Marinade salmon in Elmer's glue. Season is it with sawdust. Broil for 2 hrs."
Avatar
It just feels like they want to have everything both ways. Oh, we want to stuff our AI in your face to answer all your questions and concerns but if the AI tells you to jump in a vat of boiling oil that's not on us!!

This seems like a wonderful trade off to alienate your user base
Sounds like portion of The Splendid Table where they took random ingredients and made a meal
Avatar
There was a website called Webtender where you listed the ingredients you had in your liquor cabinet and it gave you drinks you could make with what you had. That was 20 years ago.

This sounds like a cream cheese and capers situation

Purée everything together and make a Salmon Bloody Mary.

I was gonna say: "Salmon, lemon, and tomatoes is hard? A normal search engine can't help you? Give me salmon, white beans, lime, and kale at least for something harder...no, wait."

You can type those 3 words into google with “recipe” and get pages of results. No privacy, security or instructions to make a bomb with lemon peel.
