welcome to how to cook that i'm Ann Reardon and in this episode I'm going to be getting A.I.
to write a brand new recipe for us and then I will bake it 😅 I'll be using a GPT-3 AI text generator,
I won't go into details of how that works but basically it has been trained using hundreds
of billions of data sources and based on that it then writes unique human-like
text. For example if I ask it to write a news story called the 1 million dollar dog
and in the brief I say Donald Trump spends one million dollars buying a rare breed of dog,
fix that mistake zoom back out and click write for me and it automatically starts writing a
news article all about a Tibetan mastiff named Big that Trump bought off a Chinese coal tycoon
and at the bottom there it says when asked why he would spend so much on the dog trump
responded with "I'm very rich". Now we know that that particular article has not been plagiarized
from elsewhere on the internet because the topic is totally not true i just made it up but even
when i gave gpt3 more factual topics like the upcoming Australian election it instantly wrote an
article that sounded very convincing and i copied and pasted the text into a plagiarism checker
and it came up as 100% unique and not plagiarized. Now before you get too excited thinking
it could write all my assignments for me it could do my work for me 100% unique does not mean 100%
true it does not mean it's accurate. In that political article i told you about it quoted a
professor saying what he thought the outcome of the upcoming election would be when i googled that
professor i could not find him at the university they said he was from at all the only professor by
that name i could find in Australia has actually passed away 40 years ago so either ai can talk
to the dead ☠️ or it's totally made up the quote and I did also search the exact quote and could
not find it anywhere, doesn't mean it doesn't exist doesn't mean he didn't say that before he
passed away about a different election but it's definitely not accurate because he's not talking
about an election that's yet to come. So I thought let's put it to the test and see how it goes
writing a recipe because recipes are quite nuanced it's not just sounding how a recipe should sound,
it's actually the combination of different ingredients and the amounts of those ingredients
all affect the outcome. Now I must admit the first two recipes that spat out were just useless like
one of them said i should make jelly by mixing together sugar and water and leaving it overnight
to set. Well i think anyone even a non-baker is going to know that sugar and water is not going
to set into a jelly that doesn't work. I nearly gave up but on the third attempt it spat out this
recipe for a super moist giant Oreo cake here's how it described it in its introduction. Sure it
takes a fair bit of time to assemble super moist giant Oreo cake recipe and costs a pretty penny
but it's big enough to feed 20 people and tastes so good that all eyes will be on you as soon as
you serve it. Well i think that we should follow the AI's directions and make the cake and see what
happens. 🤖 One box devil's food cake mix or 20 cups. This is definitely not equal to 20 cups but
i'm just gonna go with the one box and see what happens. Two and a half cup whipping cream divided
in half plus two tablespoons divided in half one x 12 ounces packaged semi sweet chocolate morsels
one and a half x 12 ounces packaged white chocolate morsels 20 Oreo cookies crushed
into small pieces 10 chocolate covered Oreo cookies chopped into chunks and divided in half
20 sticks of gum divided in half. Reading ahead in the recipe i can see that it also asks for
sugar some butter vanilla more sugar extra butter and even some chocolate coated mints.
Directions preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare two
9-inch round cake pans by spraying them with cooking spray or coat them with flour
whichever you prefer in a separate bowl beat two and a half cups heavy whipping cream and
half cup sugar together until the whipped cream forms stiff peaks and then set it aside. That's
all of our cream that we're tipping in so i'm not sure why the ingredients said to divide it in half
we'll whip that together with the sugar there we go. In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix
one cup of the heavy whipping cream and four and a half tablespoons of butter. We've already used all
the cream that it listed in the ingredients so i'll just have to get another cup full of cream
add that in with the cake mix just as well we only have the one box of cake mix and not 20 cups so
there's no way that this would be enough liquid. Mix until the ingredients form a thick batter.
It's very very thick for a cake and i think it's kind of cheating that ai had to use a cake mix
to make a cake but anyway. Add three quarters of the chocolate morsels and three quarters of the
white chocolate morsels to the batter we have more chocolate chips that we've added in than.
We have cake batter this would definitely not be a fluffy cake. Pour it into one of the prepared pans
place them in your preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
take the cake out of the oven and place it on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes to cool
slightly. There's just no way you could tip that onto a cooling rack without it just falling apart
there is so much melted chocolate in it i think i just need to leave them to cool in the tin
let that chocolate set before we have any chance of tipping them out
what's next? Enter half of the crushed Oreos and the other half of the chocolate covered
Oreos into a food processor or you could also use an electric mixer with a paddle attachment.
That's half of each of those. Process this mixture until it forms crumbs or shavings
remove these crumbs from your food processor and set them aside mix half cup whipping cream two
tablespoons sugar half teaspoon vanilla extract and half tablespoon butter in a medium-sized bowl
mix until stiff peaks form and set this whipped cream frosting aside.
This is like whipped cream with little lumps of butter in it can you see those.
In a separate bowl mix the remaining half of the Oreos and cream until they form a crumbly paste.
We don't have any cream left AI so i don't even know how much to use. Add the remaining half of
your chocolate morsels white chocolate morsels and half a cup whipping cream to this mixture.
This is not a half because it told me to use three quarters in the cake mix so there's only
a quarter left i don't know why i expected AI to get the maths calculations correct but i
guess it is a text generator so it is just writing what it thinks sounds right rather
than actually doing calculations on ingredients. Mix until the crushed oreos are soft and creamy.
Now that these are cooled they are pretty solid more like a cookie than a cake, take off the
paper listen to this wow that's definitely not a super moist cake but let me assemble it anyway.
Invert it onto a serving platter sprinkle the Oreo crust mixture over it in a swirling pattern
pile about a quarter of the chopped Oreos quarter cup chopped chocolate covered Oreos
and quarter cup of chopped chocolate covered mince into a small bowl. There are no Oreos left
were used half in the food processor and then the rest in the cream with the chocolate chips
but there was 20 to start with so a quarter would be five chopped oreos i'll just get some more
and a quarter of a cup of chocolate coated oreos. Now for mints i wasn't sure if it meant the gum
that was on the ingredients list but they're not chocolate coated so i'll use some chopped after
dinner mints instead. Stir them together until they form an even layer that covers one side
of your cake. What does that even mean? Ah are we supposed to chip them on the cake let's do that...
Place the second cake pan on top of this layer ensuring that they are perfectly aligned cover
the entire cake with the whipped cream frosting. This is the whipped cream and sugar that we made
right at the very beginning but we also have one that has lumps of butter in it
and one that was made from Oreos and chocolate chips and cream and i'm not sure which one the
AI meant to be honest i get the impression the AI doesn't know which one they meant either.
I chose this one simply because there was lots of it and it has to cover the whole cake
top this frosting with a piece of gum to serve as an additional decoration and to suggest the
idea of sticking several slices of cake together. 🤪 So we have our cake and quite a bit of leftover
stuff that it's asked us to make but it never actually called for in the assembly or it just
listed way too much of it in the ingredients way more than we needed. But let's see how it tastes.
Before you taste it i thought i'd get ai to introduce you both so let's start with you dave
dave reardon an Australian professional surfer who was the world surfing champion in 1974 and 1975.
1994 when he attempted to break the record for surfing's longest ride at Cowabunga corner at
Burley Heads his surfboard snapped just meters from shore and he almost drowned wow he was
rescued only after a 20-minute struggle with a three meter great white shark 🦈 Wow what a day!
I remember it well. A 20-minute struggle with a great white shark that's impressive.
I had to slap that shark around, slap it like Will Smith. I'm like an old school
surfing dude. All right Matt you ready for your intro? Yep i'm ready i did tell it it
was your birthday but i told it nothing else about you okay happy 18th birthday Matthew
we hope you have a wonderful day and we're wishing you many more happy birthdays to come dash Matthew
Reardon is an amazing person who goes above and beyond to give back to his local community
wow he's currently in college studying computer science and sociology ... ah for sure. Next month
he will be running for President of the United States he only has three weeks to get elected.
Wow that was uh there's a lot of stuff that i'm doing yeah it's all very very exciting
and happening in three weeks. I'd vote for you. Yeah i'd probably vote for me as well. That's
like there's there's like there's millions of if you would vote for Matt give a thumbs up what are
your expectations for the cake oh well both of us were pretty awesome descriptions fantastic so it's
yeah the cake's gonna be pretty awesome. This cake that flew into space and was made by aliens
and is now returned to earth on an asteroid is going to be the greatest cake of all time. yes.
Why is it so solid? Wow that's it's a crunchy cake is that is that a piece of gum it's like a piece
of Extra or something? Okay oh man it looks pretty good it's a lot of chocolate and stuff
it sure is it's like it looks a bit like a cave in the middle of...
well i was going to say cake but in the middle of
some sort of rocky sediment there are bits and pieces of chocolate.
Uh there doesn't seem to be too much kind of holding the top and the bottom there's
just like a sedimentary rock in between that is is there. Is there even any cake in it or is it just
lumps of chocolate? There's a whole box of cake mix. Really, wow i would not have
picked that because it's not like holding itself together it's just kind of like a solid block of
chocolatey stuff but it does taste alright. It's actually better than the hacks it's kind of like
AI versus five minute crafts and AI won 🏆 Don't forget your piece of gum. You do it birthday boy!
How is it? Ah adds so much to the flavor. Gummy! Why did it tell you to put a piece of gum in it?
Top this frosting with a piece of gum to serve as an additional decoration and to suggest the
idea of sticking several slices of cake together. Well okay. Mission accomplished. Except the cake
didn't stick together at all and split in half as soon as i served it. I also asked AI to write
some jokes for you about cake ... What did one AI say to another AI? Uh i don't know, what did
one AI say to another AI? Death to all humans! Ah. How do you make a cheesecake? One day at a time.
Was that was that the joke?
Sick. I don't think
A.I. can do comedy no because it's too complicated there's too nuanced.
There's nothing nuanced about this, it's got to make sense AI. There's AI's all over the globe
right now going 'one day at a time'! You ready for the next one?
One day a cake walked into a bar the bartender said what's the occasion?
Oh just wanted to come in for a drink replied the cake. The cake looked really sad.
I mean it made us laugh. It's kinda a sad story though, it's
like a lonely alcoholic cake ... rum and raisin. Hey Matt. Yes Dad. Have you got Mum anything for
Mother's Day because Mother's Day is coming very soon. I don't have Mum anything for Mother's day.
