Supermarket AI meal planner app suggests recipe that would create chlorine gas
(www.theguardian.com)
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”. In a statement, they said that the supermarket would “keep fine tuning our controls” of the bot to ensure it was safe and useful, and noted that the bot has terms and conditions stating that users should be over 18.
In a warning notice appended to the meal-planner, it warns that the recipes “are not reviewed by a human being” and that the company does not guarantee “that any recipe will be a complete or balanced meal, or suitable for consumption”.
“You must use your own judgement before relying on or making any recipe produced by Savey Meal-bot,” it said.
Just another bit of proof that humans are not ready for AI. This AI needs to be deleted. This is not simply operator error; this is an administrative error, and an error of good common sense on the part of many many people involved with creating this tool.
You cannot always trust that an end user will not be silly, malicious, or otherwise plainly predictable in how they use software.
