This workflow, this motivation, this business model, this marketing is an affront to truth itself.
This is data from the world that has altered and augmented with stuff from a model. The informational content has been altered by stuff not from the world. Therefore it’s no longer data, according to the above definition.
That isn’t to say that it can’t be useful, or anything like that. But it’s _not_ information collected from the world. And that’s why people who care about science and a strict definition of data would be offended by calling this a dataset.
What is the source of that nutritional data?
Some of them are fundamentalists, and no amount of reason will reach them (read the comments on the Ghibli-style images to get a sample), others are opposed for very self-interested reasons: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his income depends on his not understanding it"
Yesterday, I vibe coded a DNS server in python from scratch in half a day (!) and it works extremely well after spending a few minutes on manually improving a specific edge case for reverse DNS using AAAA records: dig -x requests use the exploded form in the ip6.arpa, while I think it's better for the AAAA entries to keep using the compressed form, and I wanted to generate the reverse algorithmically from AAAA and A records.
Just ignore them, as your approach is sound: I have experience creating, curating and improving datasets with LLMs.
Like vibe coding, it works very well if you know what you are doing: here, you just have to use statistics to leverage the non deterministic aspects of AI in your favor.
Good luck with your app!
This is true of so very many things involving computers (and tools in general, really) and LLMs are no exception. Just like any tool, "knowing what you are doing" is the really important part, but so many folks are convinced that these "AI" things can do the thinking part for them, and it's just not the case (yet). You gotta know what you're doing and how to properly use the tool to avoid a lotta the "foot-guns" and get the most benefit outta these things.
Not representable because I dont have US food but since its AI enhanced I cant compare my stuff with the stuff in the "dataset" and be sure thats an Us vs germany thing..
It looks like for unsweetened oat milk:
https://www.opennutrition.app/search/unsweetened-oat-milk-mt...
...it is leaning into a citation from the Australian Nutrient Database (e.g. Oat beverage, fluid, unfortified. Australian Nutrient Database. Public Food Key F006132. ), which is what I instructed it to do if it thought there was an exact match from a governmental database.
It's possible this is a poor general source for oat milk or that's not the beverage intended for the entry to stand for. I'll check it out, thank you for the report.
