Quite 
Only one issue. 450g of haricot beans after soaking and cooking won’t weigh 450g anymore. It should say ‘the cooked beans’ or similar.
True but one of its rules given is to always give a weight of ingredients
Not sure quite what you are getting at. It seems quite explicit to me. Take 450 grams (OK 1 lb in original recipe) and soak them overnight. What they weigh next day is irrelevant.
Anyway that is a digression. I have never cooked the recipe. (I wonder at the cost of an oven going for 6 hours!). I just used it as an example of getting a saveable and editable recipe from a photograph of a printed page (or even handwritten note).
The curious thing is that AI seemed to know the format I required from my previous enquiries. I wonder if it stores that info on my computer or somewhere in the cloud. Any techies know the answer? — and should I be worried?
It is saved on the cloud. As you teach it it is also learning what you want.
So it is holding information and can link it specifically to me. Obviously suspecting having a bean fetish would be of no interest to anyone, What if I was investigating a critical illness? Wouldn’t that information be of interest to my health insurer? I am not getting paranoid (yet) but am curious to know if there are any safeguards.
When you created an account to access it you let it have your info. I wouldn’t worry about it but it does save everything you ever wrote on it and how it answered. It also most likely saved what device and your location when you talked to it
And making that available for others.
Yes…
Apple Intelligence (AI) uses ChatGPT, but no personal data leaves your device or is stored by ChatGPT. I guess that’s no longer the case if you link a personal ChatGPT account to the device. My iPhone still shows AI not available. I think it’s expected in the EU in Spring.
I’m just looking at line 3 of the recipe
It’s a bit ambiguous and is just showing the limitations of AI. Some people may think ‘take 450 g of the cooked beans and pour over the pork’. That interpretation is perfectly sensible although most people would see the ambiguity I think.
That’s because it’s logging your enquiries, learning from them and tailoring it’s responses to you based upon what you’ve asked before. It’s one of the ways it ‘learns’.
Ah, now I see what you mean. Yes, it’s not perfect but does a very good job and saves a hell of a lot of work. If I am going to save a recipe to my recipe book I do a fair amount of formatting and checking before I save it.
As for big brother watching everything, I think I can live with that in return for the convenience it provides. I guess be aware is the watch word.
I imagine that as it’s a really old recipe it’s for use with an AGA type cooker that is hot all the time, so it doesn’t matter how long something takes.
