I honestly never thought of using ChatGPT for recipes. I just asked it for "a simple pizza dough recipe for a medium thick pizza you can cook in an oven" and it returned the exact recipe I have memorized which I think came from a "AirBake" pizza pan I bought 20+ years ago. Thanks for the tip!

If that’s what you do, it’ll give you a generic recipe.

Try something more complicated! Ask for a gingerbread recipe without sugar, for example.

Just to be clear, I wasn't complaining. I liked that it came back with the one recipe that I've already settled on (and I've tried quite a few over the years.)

I think I'll ask it for a calzone recipe this weekend. The one I use now makes the dough a little too bready.

Fair enough! Just, I find its recipe-making ability to be most useful once you start experimenting.

It's not very good at it, but it doesn't need to be, to be far better than I am.
