Rikaido or ChatGPT
Rikaido or ChatGPT, for dinner tonight?
ChatGPT is free, fast, and it writes a recipe that reads like a recipe. Here is what changes when there are people to feed.
ChatGPT is a general assistant: ask it anything and it answers. A recipe, it writes in three seconds, from everything it has read. It doesn’t cook, it doesn’t taste, and nobody rereads what it hands you before you turn on the heat.
Where ChatGPT wins
- Free, and already on your phone.
- It answers everything: the recipe, then the wine, then the email to your mother-in-law.
- No weekly limit on recipes.
Where Rikaido wins
- Every recipe goes through the harness before it is served: your allergies, the quantities, the temperatures, the salt. What can’t be corrected isn’t served.
- The recipe teaches you the technique: 72 techniques, each with its tell and its fault, met in the dinner you were already making.
- Your allergies, you declare once. They come first at every check. ChatGPT forgets them from one conversation to the next.
- Written in Quebec French first, not translated from English.
- And Rikaido opens inside ChatGPT itself, through the connector: the same check, in the conversation you already have.
