    Why would we want broken stuff like this?

      I guess we don’t really. Though personally I could have a lot of fun entering some weird combinations of ingredients and then cooking whatever it comes up with (as long as it’s safe to eat ofc). As I said, it’s funny and maybe sometimes useful. But it’s probably better for the world if they stop doing this

      Because it might work if you don’t enter that your leftover ingredients are bleach and ammonia.

        If it can’t discern bleach from ingredients, the actual recipes are probably quite bad too. Another example recipe in the article suggests it’s just throwing any ingredient you give it into a random recipe, substituting in literally anything indiscriminately. So it doesn’t work for the purpose of generating useful recipes.

        Fun automated madlibs game tho

        You do realise they still have to put warning labels on bleach so people don’t drink or inject it?

        Yeah, maybe a tool that generates recipicts but has no concept of what eatable ingredents are, is not a good idea regardless of stupid users.

        It shouldn’t even let you enter in stuff like that, since it’s not food.
