Alright, but most people aren't looking for accuracy relative to the source material.
They're looking for code that does a specific thing, or food that tastes a certain way.

Possibly because they aren't doing science. They may be doing software development or baking instead.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoYup, and it hallucinates plenty with dev too, even over basic stuff like an NGINX config. Given that it hallucinates in particular over measurements/specs/stats, I'd be extremely sceptical of taking a recipe from it, whether that's generated and original or coming from a known source. Baking requires very specific measurements, the slightest mistake and it won't turn out well in most cases. Again, why go via an LLM and not a search engine to the actual source? It makes zero sense, especially if it only returns text and you can't see what the recipe produces if it's an existing thing.

- Dylan16807 3y agoThere's no such thing as "the actual source" for how to make a type of food.
