This is exactly how I feel. I want it to actually be helpful.
It needs to be able to:
- track what I have (if I have input that data) and how soon anything may expire
- track what I made but haven't finished eating (just a few quick pictures in the fridge should update that as needed, or maybe it's time we all get that Alton Brown in-fridge camera to talk to)
- can I use this in something else? How long should it still be good? Etc...
- track my health/nutrition goals
- track what I've already eaten (again, the onus is on me to make sure that data is there) so it can help me follow my health/nutrition goals
- track local grocery store fliers for deals (I do this on my own with the app Flipp and save a ton of money, but if the AI could handle that... that'd be great)
- tracking local grocery store prices would be great too, but unlikely. They need us to come into the store for hopeful impulsive purchasing
- I'm sure there are more things
Not saying this is remotely simple to pull off... just what I would want in an AI that is helping me with recipes and food. I can't wait until we can utilize it for things like that.
