Hey, ChatGPT can’t taste and is not trained on any taste data. Whatever it comes up with is interpreted by you or your wife into some delicious dishes I hope. But it’s you/her who is being creative with a text suggestion.

Cookbooks on the other hand are the result of people comimg up with recipes for foods which they obviously taste and like. LLMs ingested all this data from cookbooks, but whatever is mixed up into new ideas are just lucky shuffles, it can’t be any other way cause remember, an LLM cannot taste ingredients or final dishes. I think you’re projecting into them more than what they are.
