Dear MEL Topic Readers,
AI and spices: Would you put cumin on a pizza?
Spices are essential for most cooking styles, especially for Cajun, Chinese, Indian, and Persian cuisines. If you don’t cook, you never know how many kinds of species and how much of each spice were used to enhance the flavor of the dishes you are enjoying. Indeed, the blending of spices creates a unique flavor and taste of each dish. And the recipe is often traditionally or culturally inherited, or ingenuously created.
As you know, AI can learn such human ingenuities in a very short period of time, called deep learning. So, how about using AI to create a new spice mix, or an alternative spice mix to substitute expensive or hard-to-obtain spices? In fact, the world biggest spice company has been working on improving their AI model to come up with such spice mix suggestions that only experienced expertise can make.
It seems that the more AI is trained and sophisticated, the more sensitive it becomes to human tastes.
Enjoy reading and imagine the time when you find dishes on the menu with AI enhanced sauce, dressing, or flavor.
