🍽️ You ever need to cook dinner, but you're feeling uninspired or too tired to go grocery shopping? AI can cook up a recipe for you using only the ingredients you already have on hand. All you have to do is:
- Pick your AI agent of choice. In our article, we use ChatGPT via Siri, but almost any chatbot can handle a request like this.
- Tell your AI assistant what you've currently got in your fridge.
- Ask it to make a recipe, specifying whether you want dinner, a snack, or even dessert. You can try telling it how long you have to prepare a meal and what kinds of food you usually enjoy.
- See what Chef AI has cooking for you!

Feature Writer Olena Kagui recently tested out 5 of the most common AI assistants to see which one performed various common tasks the best. One of the tests she ran was on a photo of her treasured dog, Smiley. She had a picture of Smiley on the beach and wanted to try modifying it in certain ways using AI image generators. To that end, she put Grok, Copilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini to the test, asking each engine to add tennis balls to her photo. (The fifth AI, Perplexity, was left out of this one, since it refused to edit the image Olena uploaded and instead generated random images of dogs with tennis balls. Take what you will from that.)
What surprised me was that many of the AI agents changed parts of the photo unrelated to the tennis balls. Some, like Gemini above, gave Smiley big, cartoon eyes, despite Olena not saying anything about changing the looks of the dog in the photo. But the real zaniness starts when Olena asks the AIs to add even more tennis balls. I'll just let you see for yourself what happens then.
But adding tennis balls to beach pictures wasn't the only thing Olena tested out. She ran the AI assistants through a gauntlet of tests, from rewriting a resume to turning photos into videos to answering deep, philosophical questions. Plus, she made a handy flowchart based on her research to help you discover which AI assistant is right for you.
