Maybe generative AI. Chef Watson was chemical and flavor pattern matching used to discover unexplored combinations.

If you were building Cooking AI from the ground up, the chemistry and physics would be more like formal logic than plausible word vomit.

Couldn't actual combinatoric software do this much more targeted, cheaper, faster, and more controlled? What does using a slot machine add here, except heating the planet even more?

Chef Watson was 2012-2018, and a really fun product while it lasted. There’s multiple books published from its output and insights available on Amazon.

Isn't that what they describe Chef Watson as being?
