Found a great use for ChatGPT!

[kdonnel]

I have been trying to make use of LLM and generative AI and found something I think will actually be very helpful.

The worst part about eating at home is planning the menu. Not sure what it didn't occur to me until today but I just asked ChatGPT to plan my menu for the week:

The prompt:

This list includes all the necessary ingredients for your five dinners. You might already have some of the spices and condiments in your pantry, so feel free to cross them off if you already have them. Happy cooking!

It will be easy to check off what we already have and head to the grocery store knowing exactly what we need.

This will really make meal planning so much easier.

I'm a big fan of ChatGPT, although it can be misused to generate academic essays at the expense of harder working pupils

That’s pretty cool! BTW the majority of our meals come from Skinnytaste too!

That's a great idea! Will definitely try it the next time we have company!

DD and I are going to Ireland in late June (her graduation gift). I've been using it to create our itinerary, and it's been really helpful.

But isn't Chat GPT now literally ripping off Skinny Taste material and stealing its site clicks and internet advertising money? This seems pretty illegal, or at least wildly gray, if it's willing to do this when asked...

I will still visit skinny taste for the actual directions. ChatGPT only included the ingredients.

But if you asked for the directions, would it give it as a follow up?

I foresee the biggest class action lawsuit from every internet business ever made towards Chat GPT coming if so...

Just an FYI: "ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. Additionally, a lot of water is also used in cooling for the servers that run all that software. Per conversation of about 20 to 50 queries, half a litre of water evaporates – a small bottle, in other words."

I mean, I grew up with Napster, which was also one of the best internet inventions ever...'

It also just so happened to be found wildly illegal for allowing the rip off of so much creative material (aka copyright infringement, the same thing this request seems to do), even if it wasn't intentionally doing so, either, at least not at the corporate level...it just enabled users to do so...

ChatGPT is only a glorified intelligent Google. Saves you a lot of time and effort.
