    “If you studied the topic for multiple years of your life AI is useless” Great, thank you, I didn’t know that

      I’m a capable home baker, no more no less. You’ll learn more and faster learning from sources which actually know what they’re talking about is all I’m saying. Want to spend the next 10 years dabbling around still not learning anything of substance, go ahead, be my guest, stick with ChatGPT.

          I can make you a pumpkin cake in a pan on a stovetop if needs be. Which is going to turn out better than in a rice cooker because steaming a cake isn’t really a stellar idea (though bread is often baked with steam, different reasons), and even if you get things working rice cookers don’t produce temperatures which cause browning, they shut down at a baseplate temperature of like 105C as that means that all water has evaporated. 140-165C is necessary in case you’re wondering.

          Did you really think about that question yourself or did you go with the rice cooker because ChatGPT wasn’t smart enough to realise that nope, that’s a bad idea, and chances are if you have a rice cooker you also have something to put a pan on. To me it seems like you’re outsourcing thinking to a smart-sounding idiot, instead spending all your intelligence on justifying that decision post-hoc.

              You’re nitpicking a specific instead of the argument

              The bloody argument is that ChatGPT can’t deal with the specifics in question. I don’t doubt that it can get lucky and spit out something sensible. What I’m saying is that it’s a very bad idea to rely on it to master a topic. I mean if it was so good why did you even go to university? Why not have ChatGPT teach you? Exactly the same thing.

              Also why the hell would you have a ricecooker and no stove, not even a single plate. Are you going to fry up stuff to eat with the rice in the cooker? Did ChatGPT have the guts to tell you that you’re living the life of a modern-day barbarian and sentence you to eat rice with rice until you relent and get a hot plate and/or an oven? Air fryer? Anything that’s not soggy? Or venture out to your neigbours and see if they have something at least half-way appropriate?

                  You living in a Gulag doesn’t mean that ChatGPT is the right way to learn to bake, now you’re getting into nitpicking and specifics. Also that restriction is bullshit or do they also confiscate hair dryers, those easily eat 2kW.
