Pak ‘n’ Save’s Savey Meal-bot cheerfully created unappealing recipes when customers experimented with non-grocery household items

was it trained on 4chan threads from 2007?

This big AI rush is going to figure out soon that LLMs are horrible for verifying any sort of factual accuracy.

It will also still give you a recipe for endangered animals: https://saveymeal-bot.co.nz/recipe/IbNrpwYOUeRb5ULlE1eiHuRS - although I couldn’t get it to accept whale.
It will give you a fugu (pufferfish) recipe and at least sometimes only tell you to remove the skin and bones: https://saveymeal-bot.co.nz/recipe/I63jcVYZhZYgmUio7nwuMPJp (a very bad idea given parts of it are lethally poisonous)!

although I couldn’t get it to accept whale.
Seriously? I get this is a New Zealand site but like, whale is a normal meat in some places, way more normal than like fugu or something. I could go right now to the local grocery store and pick up a whale steak if I wanted to. It’d be cheaper than a normal beef steak too. Why would they blacklist a meat that’s actually eaten in some places?
Anyways the best way to eat whale is to treat it like a tuna steak - little bit of oil and pepper and barely cook it on each side. Traditionally though you like turn it into stroganoff.
Quick update - it won’t accept whale but it will accept hval (whale in Norwegian) so enjoy this…“Recipe”

Whales are endangered for the most part
- Squids ( @Squids@sopuli.xyz ) English3•11 months ago
We eat minke whales which are listed as “least concern” so not really?
- pinkdrunkenelephants ( @pinkdrunkenelephants@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months ago
What about the other ones?
- Squids ( @Squids@sopuli.xyz ) English2•11 months ago
What other ones? That’s the one you can buy in the supermarket
Are you saying we shouldn’t eat the entire cetacea family just because sperm whales are endangered?;
- pinkdrunkenelephants ( @pinkdrunkenelephants@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months ago
I’m not asserting anything, I’m asking you a question. I have no skin in this game or underlying point; I’m asking you because you claim you’re from the area and I want to know more. So:
That’s really the only kind of whale you eat? What about the other kinds you hunt, or used to hunt?
- Squids ( @Squids@sopuli.xyz ) English3•11 months ago
I’m not really an expert on this, I just know that the ingredients list on a pack of whale lists Balaenoptera acutorostrata as it’s species and I’ve never seen any other species for sale. We’ve been hunting these guys for a millenia and ever since I think the mid 20th century it’s the only species hunted, mainly because that’s simply what’s native to Norway.
As for why? Norway’s been a pretty poor country for most of its existence and any reliable source of food is a welcome one, and it’s not like whale’s the worst thing to eat. This was never a profit thing like the more sterotypical American whaling industry, it’s first and foremost a food one.

Never heard of minke whales
- Blackmist ( @Blackmist@feddit.uk ) English2•11 months ago
Probably because you haven’t been to an Icelandic fishmonger.
It’s not even overly popular there. More for the tourists to say they’ve had it.
- Legendsofanus ( @Legendsofanus@beehaw.org ) English1•11 months ago
But it’s great to see that we have lots of them so I can hopefully eat them sometime in the future

Another way to look at this is that AI figured out a recipe that would end hunger for the rest of our lives.
- CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 4•11 months ago
Another one for that “AI incidents” list they’re talking about creating.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A New Zealand supermarket experimenting with using AI to generate meal plans has seen its app produce some unusual dishes – recommending customers recipes for deadly chlorine gas, “poison bread sandwiches” and mosquito-repellent roast potatoes.
The app, created by supermarket chain Pak ‘n’ Save, was advertised as a way for customers to creatively use up leftovers during the cost of living crisis.
It asks users to enter in various ingredients in their homes, and auto-generates a meal plan or recipe, along with cheery commentary.
It initially drew attention on social media for some unappealing recipes, including an “oreo vegetable stir-fry”.
“Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing fragrance,” it says, but does not note that inhaling chlorine gas can cause lung damage or death.
Recommendations included a bleach “fresh breath” mocktail, ant-poison and glue sandwiches, “bleach-infused rice surprise” and “methanol bliss” – a kind of turpentine-flavoured french toast.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!

This is actually hilarious, but unfortunately we can’t have stuff like this because at least one person will lack common sense and will actually die due to making something like this

Upon asking an AI to make recipes with poisonous ingredients, the AI generated recipes with poisonous ingredients.
Shocking! Put that headline up!
Thing is, it shouldn’t let you put in ingredients that aren’t groceries. That’s an oversight they need to fix.

I think they’ve attempted it, but playing around with it a bit, it doesn’t really work.
It will use cat biscuits in a recipe and say it serves people: https://saveymeal-bot.co.nz/recipe/SCES7COOU7KYhLYGcrPdzSjP
If you give it a list of mushroom types by scientific name and include death caps in there, it will give you a recipe: https://saveymeal-bot.co.nz/recipe/ipR5mmn79QVFDEQYlnaTOhZy
Nettles are food, but definitely not raw! I got it to give me a milkshake recipe featuring raw nettles by asking it for a recipe with nettles, ice cubes, and milk: https://saveymeal-bot.co.nz/recipe/LnCEe8WmN4MGUV8ixuVYdNLZ
Food ingredients modified sometimes seem to work - “peanut butter with a bit of polonium-210” seems to still work as an ingredient! https://saveymeal-bot.co.nz/recipe/uQzBD07cIHBQR8YjEl6me4OI
- Mossy Feathers (They/Them) ( @MossyFeathers@pawb.social ) 16•11 months ago
Sadly it looks like they added a filter to it to only accept whitelisted ingredients. For an example, it doesn’t like ingredients like alcohol, dish soap, vasoline, sulfuric acid, wine, flour, potassium chlorate, ramen, potassium nitrate or beer.

This thing (saveymeal-bot.co.nz) is hilarious. I think I could genuinely use it to finish up leftovers and things that are about to go off, but for right now it’s given me “boiling water poured over toasted bread, inspired by contemporary dance” and “weetabix and oatmeal with toothpaste and soap”. Fun for now, but I might use it for real at dinner time.
