Explaining an AI food model from @softgirlnocode

The creator explains a new AI model called Epicure, which understands flavor by analyzing 4 million recipes and food chemistry. She demonstrates how it can generate unique ingredient pairings and recipes, citing examples like white chocolate with caviar and passion fruit with garlic. The creator concludes by questioning the impact of this technology on chefs and noting Silicon Valley's growing obsession with 'taste'.

Transcript excerpt

This is AI understanding flavor. Someone just trained the largest LOM on food by compressing over 4,000,000 recipe from around the world into this vector space, which is this dense map of ingredient relationship. And you're probably wondering what the heck is that no for? Well, you can generate recipe and ingredient pairing that's backed by culture science that you probably never know existed before. But did you know why chocolate and caviar is a great pair? Apparently, they share flavor compounds. I don't know who's eating that, but apparently, the molecules are vibing. You can test this on their website, and this comment make me laugh. Someone said they've been on the site and found 25 ingredient pairs that are chemically extremely close, but absent from every recipe on earth, like soy sauce and vanilla and passion fruit and garlic. No, of course, I had to test to see what recipe can you come up with that. And this is what I good, 10 seared sea bass with passion fruit and garlic butter. Honestly, I would try that. If you're a chef right now, are you furious that AI is claiming that it knows taste and is coming for your creative monopoly? Because Silicon Valley has been obsessed w
