Chefs and Head Cooks

Gastronomy has been characterised by personalisation forever, restaurants which aim to keep Michelin level cuisine and fine dining cannot lose their sense of humanity by "selling out" their restaurant to more efficient AI models.

Even if everything was made in a production line together of machinery and AI does the customer service. There will still be chefs, bakers and front of the house... Not everyone wants ready food that looks exactly the same all the type. Imagine that... go to a restaurant to click buttons and get the food without interaction or any personal touch.... Cool for fast food and as a cool place to go. But as an experience.... nah. What a sad and depressing life that would be. If we just get fed like chickens in a unethical farm.

The task of cooking, moving around the kitchen, and interacting with customers is the soul of the food. Without cooking, there is no soul and no flavor in the food.

Low key I think robots taking over like full businesses would be hard bc people can be difficult sometimes and robots I feel like wouldn't grasp that

because AI and Robots are still BAD at logic mostly. and they could add sugar to a meal thinking they addes sugar in a meal

Nothing beats my moms cook her foods were my top favorites out of all not even a super smart robot can beat it

Robots cannot cook food as well as humans period, there would not be any soul or love in the food and you would be able to tell.

The chef needs to be there, to know the time of the food to be ready and also, need to deal with problems and also carry weight, things robots wont be able to do

If the robot has an accident thats something that the buisness owner or even the goverment would have to pay for. But also cooking is kinda about communication and i dont think robots have a sense of communication.

cooking requires taste and robots don't have a sense of taste

I work in the industry and agree with the data presented

because they are improving day by day it can happen in 5 or 10 years

Unless there's a massive leap in AI and sensor technology, the possibility of a machine making high-quality, good-tasting food from scratch is low.

Recipe development will need to be done by humans. Mundane preparation and such will almost certainly be automated, so consistent and easy-to-determine doneness foods (like french fries, mass-produced and standardized sandwiches, etc.) will likely be done by robots.

However, I can see the first AI James Beard or Michelin star-winning chef probably within 50-60 years.

Because robots are pretty smart and can do way more things at a time than humans

Being a good professional chef/cook is a more difficult job than being a household cook or a regular cook. It requires experience, knowledge, and sometimes complicated techniques. Additionally, some creativity and sensory perception are necessary.

A machine that helps weigh the ingredients with the exact weight to speed up cooking and can produce more food. That would be in a macro food business, thank you

because you need people to taste the food and react to different ways of making it e.g you may need to mix something longer depending on the day

I love cooking and I do it pretty well, but I believe that if you give a machine the list of ingredients and clear instructions or algorithms about how to prepare a meal it can definitely do it and then learn about it.
