The meal demo is hilarious.

— Hey, model, see this fake-ass stock photo of a variety of spices, vegetables, and spaghetti? What meal can I make with this?

— Just cook everything.

— I’m a complete noob. I can’t even fathom how to cook those things. Help me!

— Sure sure. First boil the spaghetti completely and drain. Only after that, while it’s getting cold, you need to sauté (good luck knowing what that is if you don’t even know how to cook spaghetti) the garlic and carrots at this specific temperature (good luck figuring out how to do that on a stove). Despite having mentioned the peppers and herbs in the previous message, I’m not going to tell you what to do with those. Just chew them raw or something, I guess.

The demo shows that the model can answer, but the answers are frankly bad. Here’s what you could’ve done instead faster with better results: a web search for “spaghetti carrots peppers”. Don’t even need to add “recipe”.

Presumably you’ve been using the model as you develop it, why not show something real and useful instead of a generic, unrealistic and uninteresting scenario that above all makes it look incompetent? Show something that genuinely surprised you positively.
