The AI’s recipe import put five times too much sugar in his scones

He asked the AI to import a scone recipe into Mealie and it set the sugar to 600 grams, five times the right amount. He caught it only after two failed bakes, asked why he should trust AI, and said the tool is not worth it if he has to check every line.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Asks the AI to import the recipe into Mealie
  2. The AI sets sugar to 600 grams instead of about 120
  3. Two bakes fail
  4. He traces the failures to the import

Why it’s worth knowing

A fivefold error in one number survived because everything else in the import looked right.
