Comment on What is the easiest way to calculate the calories in this bread machine recipe?
BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 4 days agoNo they aren’t. I ran it through gemini and it gave me a perfect answer. I double checked it against public values for nutrition.

Great, but you still had to check in detail to make sure it’s actually correct

Which is still less effort than doing it from scratch yourself.
I know you guys want to hate ai for everything, but it’s not as bad as you think it is.

How is asking an LLM and checking it against public values for nutrition less work than just using the public values in the first place?

Because to do it manually you need to find the sources for each of those values, then put it all in a table, then do the complete math.
Checking involves clicking the source link(s), then doing a quick mental calculation to see if it’s approximately correct.
