In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained more and more ground in the world of gastronomy, and a new experiment, called #FoodMood, is raising debates about how it could influence the future of cooking.
Created within the Google Arts & Culture Lab, FoodMood presents itself as a generator of "fusion" recipes that do not yet exist. Using the power of Google's GenAI, this tool allows users to create unique and surprising dishes with just a few simple steps.
The process is intuitive: just tell the AI the type of dish you want to create, for how many people, and what culinary influences you would like to mix. With a vast list of countries to choose from, you can blend flavors and traditions from all over the world.
What makes #FoodMood so revolutionary is its ability to replicate the creative process of chefs through generative AI. While "real" chefs dedicate years to their training, inspiration and commitment in the kitchen, FoodMood seems to condense this process into an application accessible to all.
However, this raises important ethical and practical questions. Is it right to replace the experience and creativity of chefs with artificial intelligence? What does it mean for the future of gastronomy if recipes can be generated with one click?
Ultimately, #FoodMood opens the door to a new era in digital cooking, but its impact on the culinary world is yet to be determined.
