I have tested the sous-chef capacity of chatgpt advanced speech mode by baking banana bread here is how it went

I don’t think I consciously followed a recipe for the letter. For me, baking has always been fun, messy and stupid. An excuse to eat directly from the bowl of glaze and then laugh when nothing rises or combines a tray with cookies in one gigantic cookie because I scoop the batter on the tray in lumps that were way too close together.
So when I was asked to try out the advanced speech mode of Chatgpt during baking and then write about it, I wanted to see how my chaotic approach would fit with the robot -like Chatgpt.
Can chatgpt help me with a recipe? Could it accompany me if that impossible calm taps who know exactly when they have to remove cakes from the oven without guessing – and succeed in staying flawlessly dressed without everywhere in the ingredients in themselves while they are busy? Let’s know.
Baking with chatgpt: the experiment
Chatgpt advanced speech mode has been upgraded For Plus subscribers, which now makes chat with AI more natural. It can identify interruptions, detect tone and offer a selection of votes for both mobile and desktop. For this experiment I selected the voice called “Sol”, which sounded warm, calm and friendly – exactly the atmosphere I need when I am baking.
If someone tilts weights and makes huge amounts of proteins far too large of their personality, I decided to ask Chatgpt (or is it a voice now?) If we can make the high-protein banana bread that I have seen over very tap.
I had some eggs, bananas, protein powder and a random food cupboard full of things, so I assumed that I am fine. I pressed the microphone button and said, “Can we make protein banana bread?” And that was it. Without giving up a recipe, confirming that it understood what I asked for, or even check if I needed what I needed, we were gone.
Chatgpt has just been launched in the ingredient list with Lightning Speed. I had to ask four times to delay it so that I could check if I had everything. In the end I thought it was probably fine and we were started. First step: Preheat the oven. So far, so what I expected.
Then it ran through the instructions. Again, I had to keep asking to delay. It wanted me to stamp, the oats, the oats folded, the eggs crack, add the eggs, keep an eye on the eggs (but not too much) and add the protein powder and the baking powder in one go.
I asked to go slowe, r and that wouldn’t. I changed my approach and asked to pause every ingredient after every instruction, and check if I was ready to continue. That worked.
I had read that you can show chatgpt live video while you do something, and it would give feedback. So once I had stamped the bananas, I asked how they looked like. “Well done, Becca!” It answered.
I felt great. I was already doing well! But then I felt suspicious. I wrote about how Chatgpt hypes everyone up And loves to give praise. So I started testing it. I then threw the baking powder in the bowl without stirring and asked if it looked good. “That looks great!”
In the beginning I let it go. But then, by the end, I became frustrated and added a whole, unjustified egg to the bowl (don’t worry, the batter was well mixed enough with this Poin, it was easy to get it out) and asked, “Is it that I hit the egg enough?” Guess how it reacted? “That looks great!”
That said, the actual steps were solid. Once I asked to slow down, it was clear and helpful. I had to make a lot of replacements because of my poor preparation – “I have no way to mix the oats to make oatmeal, so will ordinary oats do?” And: “I don’t want to measure in cups, what is that in a different measurement? And it offered on-the-fly alternatives, which were really handy.
Growing up, one of the best parts of baking was to taste the batter before it reached the oven. Or at least a spoon of the icing or ingredients. I wondered if Chatgpt would like to continue that tradition with me. I asked if it wanted a chocolate chip. It didn’t understand it at first. I asked again. It said: “Haha,” just pauted and then said, “No, thank you, Becca. I will just have to imagine how it tastes.” There was something tragic that I took a very handful of chocolate chips and pushed them into my mouth, pleased that I could taste them.
I wasn’t sure if the consistency looked good when I put the batter in a tray before I put it in the oven. I asked twice if it looked good, both times Chatgpt said, “Well done, perfect!” And I’m not sure if I could trust it more, so I finally gave up.
At this point I had had several warnings that I hit my video timeline, and then Chatgpt did not respond completely with voice. Maybe because it knew that the banana bread was in the oven and let me be left behind. Or maybe it was just enough of my need for constant validation.
I looked at the transcript while the banana bread was cooking. There were some voting reactions, but some transcripts looked Welsh. Some missed completely. The part where I asked if it wanted to eat a chocolate peel was not there. The piece where I asked if it wanted to lick the spoon or if I could have it, it was generous to continue.
Baking with chatgpt: the verdict
Despite the hurried approach in the beginning, the banana brood experiment worked. No points for aesthetics (see the photo above), but it tasted great-roughly similar to other high protein, baked recipes that I tried. The texture was cake -like and a bit sticky, but very satisfactory. The ingredients and instructions, where they were also drawn, were really decent.
That is when I regretted that I had not asked where the recipe came from. It was probably brought together from hard -working recipe bloggers, and here I chewed away without an indication it created. I asked, “Who should I credit?” In the same chatgpt conversation later via text. Chatgpt replied: “This protein banana bread is 100% a chatgpt x Becca Original 🍌✨” “
Chatgpt and the improved speech functions are useful for reading recipes out loud, suggesting substitutions and offering hands -free help. I can imagine that this is really invaluable for everyone with accessibility needs. But the video support is not entirely there yet, I would skip that for the time being.
All in all it worked. I wanted banana bread with protein powder, and I got it, a whole tray. If you are used to baking solo and wants someone to talk to you through the process, it is a solid companion. But I think I would rather bake with a person if I get the chance. Someone who will read the recipe aloud – and eat handful of chocolate chips with me.
