providing me with quick, straightforward recipes based on what I have at hand,

Ah yes, the wonderful recipes AI generates. Like Pizza made with glue!

You know what else generates quick, straightfoward recipes based on what I have on hand?

My brain. I open fridge, and freezer, and then decide what to make. Usually takes less than a minute to figure something out.

Not sure if I am following the sarcasm, I made it very clear I think AI's purpose is hyperinflated, and it is a bubble as well, I was just saying it is not completely useless.

IT does give a LOT of false information, but for simple stuff it saves time, that I will not deny.

Oh, it's not completely useless. If you need something that makes gibberish that sounds real for ad copy, I'm sure its fine for that.

And, while it may save me, a higher level person some time to produce a document... the cost for the production (Due to the electricity required, and other compute resources, which require all their own people to maintain) outstrips the time saved, when I could have handed the job to a level 1 support person, since I still need to review it and correct it for accuracy.
