    Call me old-fashioned but I don't think it's a good thing for companies to make money by using AI to - cough - cook up recipes that can be harmful or poisonous. I love how the quote isn't even from a critic. It's from somebody working at an AI firm who is programming the shit.

    Undercooked chicken is just one potential hazard. “It is also very capable of putting together things that could be poisonous, or harmful, or interact with people’s medications and have no way of flagging that or noticing that,” said Margaret Mitchell, a computer scientist at Hugging Face, a prominent open-source AI start-up.

      Hugging Face, a prominent open-source AI start-up.

      Isn't huggingface more like a generic project hosting site like github, which just got picked up by the open source AI community as its "github, but for model weights" host? Calling that an AI startup would be as weird as calling civitai (another hosting service focused primarily on stable diffusion resources) an AI startup.
