Cooking using AI

The image above was the best one that an AI created circa 2023 based on the recipe. We decided to keep it and show it as it shows how it important to use AI as a tool, and not trust it entirely. The truth is, 'Artificial Intelligence' is a misnomer, there is no intelligence, just really good pattern matching - after all, as a human, I could not have created it even that good in the seconds it took to create.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the flour and whisk until a paste forms and the flour is cooked, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent clumps from forming.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
  5. Add the cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Serve the sauce over the cooked macaroni noodles

I doubled it with 10 cups macaroni noodles.
