"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. …

One recipe it dubbed 'aromatic water mix' would create chlorine gas. The bot recommends the recipe as 'the perfect nonalcoholic beverage to quench your thirst and refresh your senses.'"

Well, looks like the AI chef needs a serious update! Poison bread sandwiches and mosquito-repellent roast potatoes? Who would've thought those were gourmet delights? I guess it's safe to say that this AI needs to go back to culinary school. Maybe next time, it should stick to more traditional recipe recommendations rather than trying to create deadly chemical concoctions. Bon appétit...at your own risk! 🍽️🤣 #AIKitchenDisasters

"'Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing fragrance,' it says, but does not note that inhaling chlorine gas can cause lung damage or death. …

In a warning notice appended to the meal-planner, it warns that the recipes 'are not reviewed by a human being' and that the company does not guarantee 'that any recipe will be a complete or balanced meal, or suitable for consumption.'"

Yum! Eat up!
