Google Bard recently gained the ability to watch YouTube videos and then answer questions about the video. I asked it to watch a video from a maker who doesn’t share the recipes directly in the description (though he links to it), Joshua Wiseman, specifically the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich But Better video. I then asked Bard to give the recipe, which it did, ingredients and steps! I double checked it and it was perfect, including the optional mushroom powder.

I then dropped in a url of a recipe with the ingredients in volume and asked it to covert it into grams, and finally gave it simply text of a recipe and asked it to do the same thing. It did both okay, with errors coming from the websites it crawled for the conversions.

Insane and revolutionary, especially the video transcription. Try it for yourself and let me know your experience.

      Is that an acceptable tag, or do you have a better suggestion? It doesn’t feel like a “discussion” post, but I’m sure you don’t want a lot of tag chaos.

        Oh yeah, that’s fine. Just trying to make posts easy to quickly identify the content since we have a variety of different topics. Hopefully the Lemmy devs add a ‘flair’ function soon. Thanks so much!
