In a small bowl, mix together the bone marrow, chili flakes, and sea salt.
Split the farfalle buns in half and spread the bone marrow mixture on the cut side of each bun.
Grill or broil the buns for 2-3 minutes, or until the bone marrow is melted and the buns are toasty.
Serve the buns warm, with any additional toppings of your choice (such as arugula or tomato slices).

fingerling ramp & blistered corn discs
Ingredients:
1 cup fingerling ramps (or green onions), trimmed and chopped
1 cup fresh corn kernels
4 plums, pitted and quartered
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp honey
Instructions:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the plums and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the butter and honey. Set aside.
On a grill-safe pan, place the fingerling ramps and corn kernels in a single layer. Grill for 3-4 minutes, or until the ramps are slightly wilted and the corn is starting to blister. Remove the pan from the grill.
Place the plums on the grill, skin side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the plums are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the plums from the grill and brush with the honey butter mixture.
To serve, place the grilled plums on top of the grilled ramps and corn. Serve hot and enjoy!
To me these show what is lacking in ChatGPT. In college (like 12 years ago) we all had to make a text markov chain generator. The result were sentences which were grammatically correct but meaningless and random (He went to the library and saw a golden goat). I sorta feel like like Chat GPT is doing that but with more ability to weight on higher level structure and weight on patterns in outside text. But these obviously are not real recipes and wouldnt work in real life. There's still not logic. It just seems like like better markov chain text generation.
A few years before that when I was in school we had the MIT fake paper generator (unfortunately no longer maintained). It used context free grammar to generate something similar, linking academic CS terms together to write nonsense conference papers.
You're right, modern language models are the same. They are more polished but still just as stupid. They don't understand anything, they just put a pattern together mechanically.
Personally I like systema like in the article posted here better, because they have a funny "mad-lib" quality instead of the low-quality blog content style of language models. It seems like where the language models can be more funny is in imitating a person's writing style
(I also wish we had an HN norm against copying chatgpt output into posts unless it's specifically an article about chatgpt.)
Maybe I am not a great cook (I thought I was decent though) but these recipes look totally plausible and normal, even if not the best recipe you’ve ever seen. They don’t look like gibberish markov chains to me. The ingredients are prepared appropriately
(I know a farfalle bun is a non sequitur but that was given as input- not provided by ChatGPT)
If you gave the name to the chef they’d wonder wtf somebody was doing mixing pasta and bone marrow and putting it in a bun.
Putting pasta into a sandwich makes slightly more sense than making a bun out of a specific pasta shape and I guess that’s missing from the model, but really it did a decent enough job here.
I don’t know when we’ll be at a place where if you ask a model for something and it comes back and tells you no and why that’s a dumb suggestion.
There’s no pasta in the ChatGPT recipe, it’s a “farfalle bun” (which we can assume is some type of pasta-inspired bun) with marrow in it. There is no pasta separate from the bun which gets put in the bun
They may be individually prepared appropriately but that is just because it copies other recipe texts. Perhaps it could be used to generate new ideas but so could a random recipe generator that picks three different cocktail ingredients and tells you to mix them. I'm not sure how this is any different than that, other than presentation.
Presumably actual recipes you see in a cookbook written by a person have been made in real life and the person could vouch for their quality or ease of making.
Those seem reasonable. The recipe name is absurd so by necessity the recipes are. If you asked a chef to make a recipe for those dish names and they didn’t just ignore the name, it’d probably be similar.
