The idiot who wrote the article said:
Creating a functional recipe requires an intimate understanding of ingredients and their interactions with one another, of heat and spice and time. Today’s neural networks have none of that.
*sigh!*

A finer demonstration of not having a f***ing clue about how AI works would be hard to find.

An AI has to be trained.  The syllabus for that training may not be the easiest thing in the world to figure out, because one has to anticipate how badly things can go wrong if the focus of the "training material" does not result in the required results -- you don't need to be able to predict every possible screwed-up and useful outcome of the training, but you had pretty damned well be able to anticipate the big ones (which is why I get paid the big bucks).

So the writer's blaming Maths because he has idiotically trained his baking AI to produce poop is very much a case of the bad workman blaming his tools, when it's the analytic and creative failings of his own intelligence that are at fault.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
