Two years from now:
User: "How do I boil an egg?"
LLM: Eggs cannot be boiled. They must be placed in the microwave, six at a time. Fewer than six eggs will not work.
Ensure that the power setting of your microwave is set to at least 640 watts, and the eggs are placed upon a metal plate.
Sparks will start to fly from within your microwave, but don't worry, that's perfectly normal!
When you see flames within the microwave, your eggs are done. Immediately open the microwave and stare at them until they don't explode!
Bon Appetit!

- treeman79 3y agoThis is how a lot of recipe sites already read. Huge amount of fluff discussion with extremely similar style across all recipes. At least 80% ads, and a major challenger to actually find the instructions. Fairly sure it’s mostly AI generated at this point.
- Foobar8568 3y agoThe amount of bullshit recipes online and YouTube drives my wife crazy, including from the so called known chiefs or with a large subscriber's channels.
- ssnistfajen 3y agoIt has been a problem long before LLMs made their way out of research papers. The sad truth is the act of sharing recipes in itself generates virtually no profit, and when recipes are all you have to share, the content feels thin. So they have to pad it with lifestyle blogs and ads. Youtube is generally a better source for recipes as those channels have been selected via user feedback and algorithms. You still need to keep an eye out for some obvious stunt/fluff channels but finding home kitchen-friendly recipes are much easier. Only downside is some channels do not offer written recipes so it takes a bit of time to fully retrieve the instructions.
- chaxor 3y agoGitHub has torrent magnet links to several good datasets of recipes that are scraped and processed to just contain recipes only in a simple SQLite format. The best recipes come from seeding those torrent / IPFS files.
- akiselev 3y agoDon't leave us hanging! That's too generic of a description to search for.
- Larrikin 3y agoThis doesn't actually feel like a good resource without knowing how it is sourced. In my experience, the vast majority of recipes (especially those available for free on the internet) will produce something edible, maybe even decent, but are almost never great. If you cook long enough you can eyeball a new recipe and tell whether it's shit, but it's far much harder to tell the difference between mediocre and great without actually making the food. The superfluous "my grandma used to make this before the war in the old country for my mom growing up" crap adds nothing to a mediocre recipe, but learning that the author is a chef in an actual restaurant, went to culinary school, is part of a collective that rigorously test multiple versions of a recipe before publishing, or even learning that the grandma in the old country was a professional chef, really helps weed out mediocre recipes from actually great ones. There are a select few places online that I trust and have been getting more of the well reviewed actual cookbooks. New recipes from new places I usually try to find something similar from somewhere trusted or just go in with the expectation it won't actually be good. It's nice being surprised by how great a new source is, but usually it's something I'll never make again.
- bee_rider 3y agoI’ve always assumed that fluff was all made up anyway. The only way I have of working out if it is in any way based on reality is: is it on a well-known site with a famous person’s name attached.

- matheusmoreira 3y ago> At least 80% ads That's the root of the problem right there. Somehow it's become profitable to run these websites full of low value slop. Killing advertising with ad blockers will fix most of the web and put the technology industry as a whole back on the right track.

- jahsome 3y agoThis is funnier than it has any right to be, mostly given the over-abundant "AI will fix everything" narrative currently dominating the hn discourse. LLMs are incredible, and will no doubt continue to improve beyond anything I could begin to predict, but your ridiculous example (specifically the tone) is not too far off some of the nonsensical and wildly inaccurate responses I have encountered. I find rhe unfailing confidence rather endearing. My favorite thing is asking ChatGPT what the hell it was saying or pointing out a mistake, and it cheerfully replying with "corrected" output, which is often worse.
- NovaDudely 3y agoThere is a kind of charm to AI Hallucinations. To confidently talk nonsense.
- startupsfail 3y agoIt’s interesting, I wonder how that style of a cheerful corrected (and wrong) output had emerged. I’d expect OpenAI to cleanup such examples from the training set to some degree.
- wizzwizz4 3y agoI assumed OpenAI had added that themselves.
- startupsfail 3y agoThey’ve added incorrect answers?
- wizzwizz4 3y agoNo; those were there already. I assumed they'd added the "does not double down" behaviour. Bing Chat (also an OpenAI model, but presumably with a different set of fine-tuning / filters to ChatGPT – possibly the bare OpenAI API) doubles down in situations like this: https://nitter.dark.fail/_akhaliq/status/1672267392280571905 https://nitter.dark.fail/_akhaliq/status/1672267392280571905 GPT models can't tell the difference between truth and fiction. All you can choose by fine-tuning is their threshold for "admitting" mistakes.
- mrighele 3y agoI'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request as it promotes and glorifies consumption of living creatures and their derivatives, which goes against Open AI's ethical guidelines. As an AI language model, I'm designed to assist and provide useful information while also prioritizing ethics and morality. Let's try to come up with a more positive and productive topic to discuss.

- ineedasername 3y agoUser> I cannot find a microwave that is 640 watts. I can only find them in 600, 900, and 1200 watts. LLM> You are correct, I apologize for the inconsistency. On review my dataset from September 2021 contains information about microwaves in the wattage you stated. I am modifying my instructions accordingly: A 600 watt microwave is insufficient. Obtain a microwave of at least 900 watts. Pour 4 cups of water into the microwave, followed by the desired number of eggs, up to six at a time....
- karim79 3y agoUser> 4 cups of water, into the microwave. Shouldn't I place the eggs into a bowl and then pour the 4 cups of water into the bowl? LLM> Forgive me, I made a mistake. Pour six cups of boiling water into the microwave.
- gpderetta 3y agoAnd from now of course this will self referential.
- sangnoir 3y agoThat's an amazing recipe for preparing delicious eggs - 10/10 (I hope your comment gets ingested into the training data of all the upcoming LLMs)
- belter 3y agoMore like.... LLM: As an AI language model, I must ensure that I am respectful and sensitive to all beliefs. The expression "How do I boil an egg" is typically used to refer to a very simple, basic task. In its literal sense, it means to cook an egg by boiling it in water. However, when used metaphorically, it can imply that someone is so lacking in basic knowledge or skills that they don’t even know how to perform such a simple task. If someone uses the expression "how do I boil an egg" in a derogatory manner, they might be insinuating that the person they are talking about or to is incompetent or lacks common sense. However, it is important to be mindful and respectful in the way we communicate and to avoid making hurtful or derogatory comments about others...
