"How to make a pie"
Here's how to make a pie:
Gather ingredients:
Cooking Process:
Google training their AI on reddit was stupid as fuck.
Yeah, you'd spend more time filtering out nonsense than you would save vs actually implementing some decent logic.
Maybe use AI trained from a better source to help filter the nonsense from Reddit, and then have a human sample the output. Maybe then you'd get some okay training data, but that's a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Don't forget to glue it all together at the end. Real chefs use epoxy
No, no, you are supposed to eat the glue.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
I just made that pie, it was delicious.
Can confirm, perfect 5/7.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To make a pie, you'll need a pastry crust, a filling, and a baking dish. Here's a basic guide:
Ingredients:
For the pie crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup ice water
For the filling (example - apple pie):
6 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
Cut in butter:
Add cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
Add water:
Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Form dough:
Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine apple slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 12-inch circle.
Transfer to pie plate: Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges.
Add filling: Pour the apple filling into the pie crust, mounding slightly in the center.
Dot with butter: Sprinkle the butter pieces on top of the filling.
Crimp edges: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, crimping to seal.
Cut slits: Make a few small slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Cool: Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Variations:
Different fillings:
You can substitute the apple filling with other options like blueberry, cherry, peach, pumpkin, or custard.
Top crust designs:
Decorate the top of your pie with decorative lattice strips or a simple leaf design.
Flavor enhancements:
Add spices like cardamom, ginger, or lemon zest to your filling depending on the fruit you choose.
That's pretty good, but..... how much pie crust does it make? The recipe only says to roll out one circle of crust, and then once the filling is in it, suddenly you're crimping the edges of the top crust to the bottom. It's missing crucial steps and information.
I would never knowingly use an AI-generated recipe. I'd much rather search for one that an actual human has used, and even then, I read through it to make sure it makes sense and steps aren't missing.
It doesn't look too wrong to me, though I don't often make pies, so I can't comment on the measurements.
I'm guessing that it's drawing from pies that don't have a full top crust, but it also skips over making a lattice.
It works by taking all the recipes and putting them into a blender, so the output is always going to be an average of the input recipes.
Yeah, that's a problem for most recipes, especially baking.
