I would say that many.

That many what?

There are also people at local places that have their own special recipes. So super fancy places and local places. And even some of the restaurant chains have people who are better than some of their normal chefs. I think youre vastly underestimating how many local restaurants there are. Or how many of those special places there are. Or even how many chefs at chains will add their own special twist to the recipes. It changes more when you actually know how many chefs wont actually spill the beans on their special ingredient

At a certain point, it won't matter because an AI can simply experiment until it gets a comparable result, which is how things like GANs work.

Some people have friends or family members who will cook for them like that. It just depends on the person and their relationship. Like maybe a son cooks for his mom and other family members. Or someone cooks for their best friend who they have known since they were babies. And many husbands and wives may cook for each other if one is actually a good cook

Cool. And for the other 99% of the population that doesn't fit in these categories, a robot will do the same job or better.

Making the robots a network is actually a really bad idea. They can easily be hacked if on a network.

Which is why no banks are connected to the internet - can you imagine the disaster if banks were network and could be easily hacked?

Oh, wait, nevermind, all banks are networked. If a bank can manage a secure system despite handling some of the most sensitive information a person is likely to have, I'm pretty sure a robot that will remembers how you like your steak cooked will be pretty safe.

Having a robot make it means a make it could end up making everything taste the same, which is no fun

You can ask a robot to make a recipe differently.

Again, you're vastly underestimating the scope and scale of modern computational power if you think a robot can only learn to cook one thing one way. A cooking network could store the cooking knowledge of hundreds of the world's finest chefs. It could cook you a three-star meal every single night, according to the recipes it learned studying master chefs and not once would it need to repeat a meal if you didn't want it to. You could compare how the same meal can be cooked differently.

And no, you don't need to guide it by saying something like, "Add more cilantro to this meal next time." - you could if you wanted to, but you could just as easily tell the AI, "I liked the way you made it last time better." That's very useful feedback for an algorithm and helps it zero in on how you actually like your meals prepared.

I saw where you said better can be slower. But people dont want slower. They want faster.

People "want" a lot of things, but aren't willing to pay the cost.

People say they don't want clothes made in sweatshops, but will still race to buy shirts on sale that could not possibly have been made ethically with the price tag they want. People say they want to stop air pollution and global warming, then balk when they realize an electric car is more expensive than the basic model. People talk about how terrible companies like Wal-Mart or EA or Amazon are, but those companies are still making massive profits year-over-year, so clearly people don't hate them enough to actually stop buying their stuff.

If Company A offers a human checkout and rival Company B offers an automated one, yet Company B is charging half the price of Company A, Company B *will* be more successful and that is true even if Company A's checkout is faster.

And even then, dont act like youre a better quoter.

I am by default, because I'm the only one who is actually using quotes properly at this point.

You keep complaining about how much work it is to quote somebody - dude, it takes two seconds. You highlight the part of the post that you're already reading and writing a response to that you want to respond to and click a little button at the bottom. Bam - done. That's the effort you're saying is too much work, despite writing up these massive walls of text.
