Would you ever eat recipes from ChatGPT cooking? Surprisingly, a chef in Dubai says ChatGPT came up with his famous pizza that’s flying off the oven.

Spartyak Arutyunyan, the head of menu development for the international chain Dodo Pizza, told the BBC that its recipe is a smashing success.

“We launched it; it was actually a huge hit, and it’s still on the menu,” Arutyunyan stated. Could ChatGPT craft your restaurant’s ultimate dish, too?

“We asked ChatGPT to create a recipe, the best pizza for Dubai,” Arutyunyan explained. “And it did create a recipe. We launched it; it was actually a huge hit, and it’s still on the menu.” 

“There’s so many cultures here: Indians, Pakistanis, Filipinos, Arab people, European guys,” he added. Consequently, the intrepid chef asked the chatbot to create a pizza that represented that cultural mix. 

In response, ChatGPT wrote a recipe with Arab shawarma chicken, Indian grilled paneer cheese, Middle Eastern Za’atar herbs, and tahini sauce. 

Fortunately, this AI-generated dish was such a smash hit that customers can’t get enough of it. 

“As a chef, I wouldn’t mix these ingredients ever on a pizza, but still, the mix of flavors was surprisingly good.”

Howeverbitspin, some of ChatGPT’s cooking didn’t make it to the menu, such as its strawberries and pasta and blueberries and breakfast cereal.

Other restaurants have been testing AI-generated recipes, like Dallas’ Velvet Taco. Its culinary director, Venecia Willis, got “really curious” about AI so she let it cook.

She told the AI bot to “use, like, eight ingredients, and it could only select one tortilla and one protein.” 

“There were some funky combinations, and I was like, I’m not really sure if red curry,  coconut tofu, and pineapple are going to be delicious together.” 

Yet, she made three promising recipes and chose a prawns and steak taco for public sale. Fortunately, they sold 22,000 in a week.

“I think AI is a great tool to use when you’re in a bit of a creative slump, to get the brain going again – ‘that combination might actually work; let’s try it.’”

However, Willis noted that she “wouldn’t go completely rogue with AI. There has to be a human element to validate recipes.”
