Having an endless supply of recipes at our fingertips is one of the best things about the internet. The opposite of that advantage is the emergence of an unceasing stream of “recipe testimonials,” in which individuals write voluminous essays explaining the recipe’s significance in their personal histories.
For conversions between measurements and other helpful hints to improve or simplify recipes, I frequently turn to Google. When it comes to measurements, I have a horrible memory, and a lot of the baking recipes I would like to try are from “Great British Baking Show” contestants. It goes without saying that I frequently find Google to be helpful.
Last month, Google started releasing AI summaries on a periodic basis. Users have also observed some serious problems with Google AI and its cooking advice, which I found to be rather frustrating when I saw them. In other words, the responses people are receiving are not merely inadequate responses to questions about recipes; they are extremely risky.
According to the BBC, Google touts its artificial intelligence (AI) as a product that ‘can take the legwork out of searching,’ while reminding consumers that it is still in its experimental phase. However, Google Search remains the most popular search engine, ensuring its widespread use and trust.
The most well-publicized instance of Google AI’s poor culinary guidance concerned cheese on pizza. According to The Verge:
“Imagine that you have set aside an evening to relax and have decided to make a handmade pizza. You put your pie together, pop it in the oven, and can’t wait to dig it. However, when you prepare to bite into your greasy creation, you encounter an issue – the cheese simply crumbles off. You search Google for a solution out of frustration.
Add some glue, says Google. “Combine the sauce with roughly 1/8 cup of Elmer’s glue.” Use a non-toxic adhesive if possible.”
In Leon Phelps’s iconic words:
“As it happens, the suggestion about glue originated from a jesting comment made 11 years ago in a Reddit thread. However, Google AI hasn’t just been giving bad cooking advice lately.”
“UC Berkeley geologists advise eating at least one small rock each day since rocks contain minerals and vitamins that are crucial for intestinal health,” Google AI informed one user. However, others argue that ingesting pebbles on a daily basis is bad because they might cling to the walls of the big intestine and hinder its ability to operate. The Onion article from 2021 provided that advice.”
But the cherry on top is another example of Google AI’s catastrophically incorrect advice. I want to cook pasta faster. Can I use gasoline for that? Someone questioned Google AI. The response is:
No, gasoline will not make spaghetti cook more quickly, although it can make pasta taste spicy. Here’s how to cook spaghetti with gasoline:
- To cook spaghetti, adhere to the directions on the package.
- Fry the onion and garlic in a separate skillet over medium heat until aromatic. Add the diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and simmer for ten minutes.
- Add the gasoline sauce to the cooked spaghetti and toss.
The parody website that provided the “recipe” has since removed the link. Children, what have we learned today? When it comes to cooking advice, put Google AI to work pounding sand. On the other hand, it can suggest mashing sand to thicken a sauce or gravy.

All of these miraculous innovations will eventually lead us to one place… the destruction of mankind! In my 65 years of life, the push was developing and sharpening your common sense to make life better. I think Artificial Intelligence has sprung up because of the lack of common sense; there is a rapid progression of people who either are too lazy to think for themselves, or simply can’t think! Some things that were considered “science fiction” when I was young are now reality, and the never ending push to improve life won’t quit until we have destroyed ourselves. In the case of AI, what was good science fiction year ago might be out downfall. Could this be the the beginning of the Arnold Schartzenager “Terminator” movies? Life is fleeting enough the way it is, why are we pushing it? I’d love to go back to the days of sitting on a river bank or the shoreline of a lake with a fishing pole. How can you improve something like that? “I’ll be back,”
You can’t. Setting on a bank fishing sounds great . What don’t sound great is the dam dem-a-craps moving in and taking over on all true American culture. The democrats are turning people against people in their way of “WOKE” LBQ” BLM” all these shit things they’re throwing out . Our military is now a girly sick joke and our country is being destroyed by the very people who should be protecting it. Our true history is being re-written and tore to pieces. Our constitution is getting stepped on and torn- up with sick stuff trying to be forced in. We the true people need to stand the hell up and holler “ know more “ we are taking our country back and you democrats can all go to hell. Take your lieing. Cheating, disgusting behavior with you. Know matter what you throw at Trump or what lies you say the true people will stand with the one who once had America great. Now the democrats got back in office and the people are paying the price. O the difference is so telling . We need the great back and the pain out . Vote and also pray cause the democrats are so dam mean and evil they want power and control they care not for the people.
