Mark Zuckerberg has sunk billions into AI, and a whole slew of grifters have been doing likewise, so I really appreciate a good pratfall. He set up an elaborate demo of his Meta AI, stood on a stage, brought up a chef, and asked the AI to provide instructions…to make a steak sauce. “You can make a Korean-inspired steak sauce using soy sauce, sesame oil…” begins Meta AI, before Mancuso interrupts to stop the voice listing everything that happens to be there. Meta AI, clearly unimpressed by being cut off, falls silent. “You’ve already combined the base ingredients, so now grate a pear to add to the sauce.” Mancuso looks like a rabbit looking into the lights of an oncoming juggernaut.
