AI Meal Plan App Generates Risky Recipes
posted 11 Aug 2023
A New Zealand supermarket’s AI-powered meal planning app has concocted unusual and even hazardous recipes.
Developed by Pak ‘n’ Save, the app was meant to aid customers in creatively using leftover ingredients during the cost of living crisis. However, as users input a wider range of household items, the app offered increasingly questionable recommendations.
Suggestions included a bleach “fresh breath” mocktail, ant-poison and glue sandwiches, “bleach-infused rice surprise,” and “methanol bliss” – a peculiar turpentine-flavored French toast.
