🤖 Don't Let ChatGPT Cook
PLUS: The Real Problem Behind the Author Backlash
What's up? You're reading Inclined AI. We’re just a newsletter, standing in front of a reader, asking them to give us a chance.
Here's the news that’ll sweep you off your feet:
ChatGPT is not a meal planner
Authors aren’t just angry at AI
AI will Nanny your kids
Amazon adds AI reviews to their site
We think that ChatGPT can do it all, but sometimes we miss the details.
For instance, I ate a meal last night where ChatGPT made the recipe. I have specific allergies and want to avoid those when I plan meals.
That’s a great way to use chat AI, right? Er, not so much anymore. Let me explain.
a robot chef cooks up a meal --ar 2:1 --s 400 --chaos 50 --v 5.1
When I got that recipe (it’s a shredded BBQ chicken crockpot meal, if you were wondering), I was using the browse feature on ChatGPT. It pulled that information from the web and helped me make the grocery list to get everything.
In case you missed it, you can’t browse with ChatGPT anymore, and that’s hindered the model's ability to make good food choices.
Now, the WSJ reports that users are getting inaccurate information from ChatGPT that can even harm their health. And, when you think about it, that makes sense.
ChatGPT is pulling this data from outdated information and an LLM not fine-tuned to provide accurate medical information. When you frame it that way, you wonder why we even trust it for this service.
ChatGPT has recommended almond milk-based recipes for people with nut allergies, helped people with eating disorders manage their calories in an unhealthy way, and provided inaccurate information for a person with medical issues that would have harmed their health in the long run.
So, please, don’t use this tool for your recipes.
Try Bing Chat or Bard for recipes and meal planning. They can surf the web and provide more relevant information. Even then, double-check the output and use your best judgment.
If something feels off, it probably is.
Look, you want easy, and AI planning meals for you IS easy. However, with anything you do, you should never turn on autopilot and let AI decide everything.
Human intervention is still practical when talking with LLMs. So the next time you ask ChatGPT for a week of meals, look them over before you buy anything.

A vast lawsuit looms over OpenAI surrounding their use of published books in their training data.
It’s tricky, but a microcosm of the conflict played out on Twitter (I’m not calling it X) this past week when a group of authors went after a tiny startup called Prosecraft.
The weird part: this wasn’t a generative AI tool.
Prosecraft graded books on a writing style to help authors. It didn’t generate new content like ChatGPT or other tools.
But that didn’t stop authors from going after it. Why?
It's the sourcing—those pirated books we hinted at. Both these companies scraped a dark web site that features a ton of books they did not compensate authors for, which sucks.
And it’s hard to take down these sites because the crooks behind it all host their platforms outside the US. It’s a game of Whack-A-Mole, but instead of burrowing mammals, it's a dark web ebook space that torrents your books.
Hence why many authors felt a lawsuit was necessary to stop OpenAI and why they bullied a small-time founder into shutting down his seemingly harmless side project.
