我們看到人工智能創造了音樂、色情作品和藝術。愛沙尼亞初創公司Yummy最初創建了一家餐包初創公司，但在這個過程中，它創造了一個人工智能，可以根據你的口味和飲食限製創建和調整食譜，並配有人工智能生成的你的菜肴可能看起來像什麼。該公司聯合創始人兼首席執行官馬丁·薩洛在接受TechCrunch采訪時表示:“想象一下這樣一個世界，在那裏你不用花很多年的時間來決定吃什麼、搜索食譜、研究營養信息和健康益處、遵循飲食習慣和去雜貨店購物。”“想象一下，我們根據你的個人喜好，代表你解決這個複雜的問題，而且每次都是正確的。”早在2020年，該公司的聯合創始人就在愛沙尼亞共同創辦了清潔廚房。該公司剛剛獲得了一輪天使投資，將餐盒推廣到世界上一些餐盒不像在美國這樣普遍的地方。不過，除了餐盒，該公司還在開拓一個新穎的市場，讓每個菜譜都可以定製。該公司的首席財務官卡爾·帕達姆表示:“我們正在使用生成式人工智能和其他前沿技術，建立完全可定製的膳食計劃和雜貨店購物體驗，在預算、口味、健康和多樣性方麵提供服務，同時最大限度地減少食物浪費。”“我們沒有從單個商店商品的角度考慮問題，而是為顧客提供個性化的產品。”在Yummy平台上，該公司希望讓它像編寫一個Dall-E提示符一樣簡單;例如，“我想要吃多種多樣的素食，以符合我的口味偏好、鍛煉習慣和預算。” “When we think about the current world of shopping for groceries, it’s all about ingredients or maybe recipes in meal kits, right? You can filter your search or perhaps modify ingredients so you can sort of get what you want, but that takes a fair bit of work,” says Salo. “What if you don’t talk about each ingredient but instead make broader choices? You could say ‘I want five fish dishes,’ then ‘okay, now make it cheaper,’ or ‘I want this to be a balanced diet’. Those things all have specific meanings to humans, but figuring it all out by hand would be a lot of work. Figuring out what all the ingredients contain, and if you change one ingredient, it throws everything off balance. If you do your monthly shop, you might actually go through hundreds of items — do you have time to read all of those labels?” That’s where Yummy throws the AI at the problem, giving users the option to make dishes with variations: [gallery ids="2422016,2422013,2422014,2422012"] The cool thing is that the company’s software doesn’t just generate the new recipes, it also generates the images to go with it. Super cool. “What makes this experience so powerful is that in a short time, when using the service, we will learn to create an endless amount of recipes that will exactly match all your preferences. Always,” laughs Paadam. “You will never have to think about all the complexities in regard to food ever again.” The company argues that these features make it possible to eat healthier with specialty ingredients that are in season, or locally available. “We did some really cool experiments. We’re now opening our meal-kit service in Poland, and we took a couple of our Estonian recipes, and said ‘make them more Polish,’ and suddenly, boom, certain national ingredients that were appearing in the instructions are replaced,” Paadam says. “The more generic ones were replaced with specific, locally available ingredients. This is the magic. We can say ‘make it faster to cook,’ ‘make it sweeter,’ ‘make it low calorie’ or ‘make it low sodium,’ and the AI takes care of it. You do not need to go read the labels to do all that research.” The company is backed by a collective of Estonian founders acting as angel investors, raising $3.6 million from investors including Markus Villig of Bolt, Mart Abramov of TaxScouts, Martin Koppel of Fortumo, Thomas Padovani of Adcash, Marko and Kristel Kruustük of Testlio, etc. as well as Startup WiseGuys, Andreas Mihalovits, Hatcher, DEPO and Exelixis, etc.
