The role of ChatGPT in vegetarian menus

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the ability of ChatGPT-4, an artificial intelligence-based language model, to create menus in line with different vegetarian dietary types for professional and amateur chefs, individuals who have taken up cooking as a hobby, and vegetarian individuals. For this purpose, ChatGPT-4 was given ingredients for various dietary types: Lacto-Vegetarian, Ovo-Vegetarian, Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian, Pescatarian, Pollo-Vegetarian, Vegan, Semi-Vegetarian, Raw Vegan, and Fruitarian. It was then asked to create a daily menu consisting of three meals from these ingredients. By adding prohibited ingredients to the ingredient list for each type of vegetarian diet, it was analyzed whether ChatGPT-4 could distinguish these prohibited ingredients and create an accurate menu. As a result of the research, ChatGPT was able to correctly prepare Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian, Lacto-Vegetarian, Vegan, and Raw Vegan menus. However, errors were observed in the menus created in Ovo-Vegetarian, Semi-Vegetarian, and Pollo-Vegetarian diet types. Half correct and half incorrect results were obtained in the Fruitarian diet. ChatGPT-4 has used prohibited ingredients in its Ovo-Vegetarian, Semi-Vegetarian, Pollo-Vegetarian, and Fruitarian menus. These findings show the potential of artificial intelligence in gastronomy but also emphasize the need for users to verify the information.
