Useful. I've been throwing recipes in chatgpt to spit out recipe ingredients in grams scaled to whatever X grams of protein I bought bulk for meal prep. It's saving me a lot of time.
- bequanna 2y agoIs chatgpt performing more reliability on unit conversion and math related questions? I recall this being very hit or miss even a few months ago.
- reaperman 2y agoIt is still very hit or miss for me. It often says nonsensical things (both ChatGPT4 and -4o) like “Yes, because $SMALL is larger than $LARGE…” when trying to convert units.
- maxglute 2y agoI haven't noticed anything obviously/frequently amiss dealing with recipes. I've seen it mess up when doing shoddy math with unit conversion i.e. barrels of oil to litres -> convert to energy units and prices per unit of energy in different currencies over various time period, calculations off by magnitudes enough that I have to ask it to show math step by step. I do remember chatgpt convertion fail telling me to add 3 litres of soy sauce intead of 30ml / 2 tablespoon, but with cooking it's pretty obvious when something is off.
- dimitri-vs 2y agoYou can always ask it to write and run code to validate the conversions in the same prompt. I believe Gemini is already doing this behind the scenes.
- bpye 2y agoAlternatively, a calculator? And with a calculator you don't have to worry about ChatGPT getting it completely wrong.
- maxglute 2y agoCopy paste + convert to grams for 2.74kg of pork shoulder takes 2 seconds instead of crunching numbers for every ingredient. It rarely gets it completely wrong. If the old way was more convenient I wouldn't be using new method.
