mpixel··on Supermarket AI meal planner app suggests recipe that would create chlorine gas
I asked bing-gpt to write me some css that would also happen to need the disabled selector.

It asked me to talk about something else, presumably because disabled can also be taken to mean disabled people.

If your product is absolutely safe, and is _never_ able to output such stuff, I assume it is also limited, confined, and not able to do anything really interesting.

In such tools, the generic ones, i.e. a recipe for something everyone knows and makes, is already easy to find on any search engine, these tools are often useful for doing something _slightly_ out of the box.

More importantly, those highly limited apps are just boring. Let us have some fun.

I think it's equally wrong to compare this whole thing to solar panels and whatnot.

That said, in general, 9 out of 10 things that are very promising will ultimately fail, and there's nothing wrong with discussing or following all 10, the 1 will work, and it'll be great.

Hey, this is pretty great.

I was looking for something simple and this honestly fits 90% of what I was looking for as I don't want to spend hours managing this stuff either.

One thing, when I add a record for loaning out money to someone, the due date isn't visible on the main page and I can't seem to find it.

I have a suggestion.

If I could see either or both the start and due dates, this could also be used for tracking any investments as well — though not the intent of the menu as-is — a simple UI addition or setting would allow me to do a lot more in my case.
