Today, we use AI (artificial intelligence) for many things. We use them for video games. Also, we use them to build robots. But do you use AI for food? Pinetrest and AI: They’re what’s for dinner.
So let me explain. Social media site Pinetrest are using pictures of your food to suggest other dishes ?and recipes. The AI feature Pinetrest Lens allows this to happen. Here’s how it works. You take a picture of a soul food dinner: fried chicken, greens, buttermilk biscuits, chicken pastry, dirty rice, yams. Consequently, I just made myself hungry there. Pinetrest Lens studies this soul food plate. Then, they give you recopies to make your own dinner.
Hence, Pinetrest started it this week. Yes, Facebook uses AI technology to suggest when and how to tag friends. This is different because they’re using food to apply computer vision technology. They already have food recipe features on Pinetrest. Also, you can search for diet options that fit your life. For example, there are recipes that cater to vegans, vegetarians, low-carb dieters, and others. They better have one for carnivores. If Pinetrest and AI can tell us what’s for dinner, it would be a huge step in the AI movement.
But why? Well, we all gotta eat. Also, we all have our favorite foods and our own dietary lifestyles. But imagine going to a restaurant, say, a New England seafood style place. We have a fair share of ‘chowda’ in our Boston computer service shop. You take a picture. Then, AI gives you a recipe to make your own New England style dinner. It takes a few practices, but you make the perfect New England dinner. You bring your friends, family and colleagues. Suddenly, not only does Pinetrest and AI make you a great cook, but a great entertainer as well. How can Pinetrest and AI help you?
