This is exactly how I feel. I want it to actually be helpful.
It needs to be able to:
- track what I have (if I have input that data) and how soon anything may expire
- track what I made but haven't finished eating (just a few quick pictures in the fridge should update that as needed, or maybe it's time we all get that Alton Brown in-fridge camera to talk to)
- can I use this in something else? How long should it still be good? Etc...
- track my health/nutrition goals
- track what I've already eaten (again, the onus is on me to make sure that data is there) so it can help me follow my health/nutrition goals
- track local grocery store fliers for deals (I do this on my own with the app Flipp and save a ton of money, but if the AI could handle that... that'd be great)
- tracking local grocery store prices would be great too, but unlikely. They need us to come into the store for hopeful impulsive purchasing
- I'm sure there are more things
Not saying this is remotely simple to pull off... just what I would want in an AI that is helping me with recipes and food. I can't wait until we can utilize it for things like that.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoAs complex as it might be, the "intelligence" would probably be the easy part. Aggregating that data in a way that didn't become a burden for the user--either because its tedious, or because they don't trust you--would be quite a trick.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThen another trick will be surviving the attempts of stores and food manufactures to screw with this system as it becomes popular, because individuals empowered to make good choices for themselves hurt everyone's bottom line.
- keenmaster 3y ago“Burden for the user” - why not make this a burden for the AI instead? Have the AI do some web-crawling.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoBecause it would have to crawl into my refrigerator to see when my milk expires and into... I don't know where... to know that I didn't eat enough vitamin A yesterday. Data that's not on the web.
