Pak ‘n’ Save’s Savey Meal-bot cheerfully created unappealing recipes when customers experimented with non-grocery household items

    A spokesperson for the supermarket said they were disappointed to see “a small minority have tried to use the tool inappropriately and not for its intended purpose”

    Disappointed. Bloody hell. A company that’s too cheap to curate some actual recipes is “disappointed” because the tech they built is creating lethal recipes. I wonder what their liability is if someone tried and got hurt/sick.

      Such poor coding, how hard could it be to not let people use products that aren’t food? This along with their comment just makes them seem so lazy.

      Let’s turn the outrage dial back a bit. People had the bot make recipies with non-grocery items for laughs ( ie bleach and ammonia) and unsurprisingly the bot combined them.
