I can't try it without an account, but generally, I wouldn't trust it. I know people who think Dentyne gum (the normal "classic" variety) is uncomfortably 'spicy'. Everyone is sensitive to spices at a different level and I wouldn't trust an AI to know.
A tool like this isn't a bad idea but it seems like it would require some calibration on an individual basis (which is a good excuse for requiring an account honestly) and each user would probably need to tell the app what they consider 'spicy' before it could try to recommend against things with a higher level of spiciness. An AI might give you an idea about how most people feel, when it wasn't outright lying, but comparing a food against what other users with a similar threshold thought would be better.
- josephcsible 3y agoIsn't the Scoville scale already the objective way to say how spicy things are?
- pomdevv 3y agoI could include it in the answer. What do you think ?
- reaperman 3y agoI dont think most spicy dishes or processed foods have been evaluated on the scoville scale. Really only peppers.
- fiddlerwoaroof 3y agoAnd, even then, I’ve found the same sort of pepper varies wildly in how spicy it tastes: I’ve had jalapeños that were barely spicier than a bell pepper and jalapeños that were eye-watering (and I can take quite a bit spice-wise).
- politelemon 3y agoWhat does it say about sriracha? I know people who find it difficult to tolerate and some who find it sweet!
- pomdevv 3y agoSays it's spicy
- wink 3y agoKinda useless at times. I eat hot sauces and hot chilis but can't stand normal green pepper in cream sauce :P (I like it, but it feels as spicy to me as habaneros). Also what about Wasabi and horseradish? Scoville is good for chilis and hot sauce products with a rating.
- pomdevv 3y agoOooh so making it more tailored to the user spice sensitivity : great idea ! You're right, at the moment it answers more based on general knowledge, and hasn't such nuances
