Cooking with GPT

Use cases

So for the past week or so I've been cooking with chatgpt voice on, and I actually like it for the most part :)

I've started exploring some recipes outside of my comfort area and I've been trying to make them in the 1h lunch break I have at home. Sometimes I have to shop for ingredients and also eat myself so 1h is a bit challenging, especially for new stuff.

Here's where AI (voice) comes in, as a glorified reader. I pick the recipe and do shopping myself, then once I get back I have it read the prep steps so I can work without having to clean my hands to touch the phone all the time. Helpful in clarifying some terms I don't know or suggesting ingredient alternatives if I run out of something.

The voice is also pretty good, not that annoying to talk to.

Still surprisingly stupid lol. It doesn't understand you can do things in diff order, quite a bit inflexible in that. Also doesn't seem to take my preference into account - reading the whole recipe isn't helpful, I want it to tell me what to do when I'm ready and not lost everything.

Also tried it on a weekend with people at home and it ends up picking on diff convos even if I tell it to ignore it, so it's a bit annoying there.

All in all pretty cool, will deffo use for recipes that are quite new to me!
