This ChatGPT pizza is a hit — here's what's in it
In case you missed it, in Dubai, the restaurant and delivery chain Dodo Pizza added a new ChatGPT-created pizza to its menu — and it’s flying off the shelves like hot cakes, according to the BBC.
Spartak Arutyunyan, the head of menu development for the pizza franchise, leaned on ChatGPT because he wanted a recipe that would satisfy the palette of the many diverse cultures that populate Dubai.
What is in the ChatGPT-created pizza?
The BBC report didn't give away the full recipe, but the ChatGPT-created pizza, in part, consists of the following:
shawarma chicken
Indian grilled paneer cheese
Middle Eastern Za'atar herbs
tahini cheese
Arutyunyan said that Dubai is made of up "Indians, Pakistanis, Filipinos, Arab people, and European guys," so he was hoping that the Open AI-produced chatbot would suggest a pizza that represented a "cultural mix."
As it turned out, as mentioned at the outset, Dodo Pizza customers are loving the new ChatGPT-created pizza.
Arutyunyan admitted that, as a chef, he'd never consider mixing ChatGPT's suggested ingredients together, but they work.
Arutyunyan added that ChatGPT conceptualized other pizza recipes that included strawberries and pasta, and another that consisted of blueberries and breakfast cereal, but they didn't make the cut for Dodo Pizza's menu.
