Plates of Fury

Black Box: This project is about using black-boxed artificial intelligence to assist in creating an artwork or design artifact. Black box software is software where the internal functionality is not known, which is the case with most commercially available software that is not open source. There are also many pre-trained machine learning models that are also black-boxed because the end users/researchers do not have access to the training data. The goal of the project is to offload some key aspect(s) of the decision-making process to a piece of software that you do not understand or have control over.

“Plates of Fury” is a competitive cooking experiment that challenges participants to create visually appealing and flavorful dishes using generative AI (ChatGPT). The competition mirrors the high-stakes atmosphere of world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay’s cooking shows, with ChatGPT generating a set of ingredients, a recipe, and a strict time frame—along with harsh critiques reminiscent of Ramsay’s own judging style.

 

This project captures the intensity of real-world cooking competitions while emphasizing precision, time management, and improvisation. The video documentation highlights the stressful environment where competitors race against time, each other, and, in this case, even ChatGPT to recreate a dish that aligns with the AI-generated recipe and photo. Plates of Fury showcases generative AI’s ability to pull from various resources to craft competition-style prompts while staying true to the user’s inputted parameters.
