This is a very funny one. Look at the photos. As you will see, the AI agent came up with improbable recipes and misunderstood requests because it took them literally (e.g.: 'salt and pepper chips' are chips sprinkled with salt and pepper - obviously).
People forget that the AI agent is like a very precocious and super-intelligent child, perhaps on the autistic spectrum, that has literally read thousands - or millions - of books and remembered them all.
At the same time, the AI agent has no experience of the 'real world': for instance, when it comes to food, it only knows what it has read about food and images it has seen here and there; it has never tasted anything, eaten anything, or cooked anything, for obvious reasons. The AI bot does not need food: it absorbs data, day in, day out.
It exists in some kind of abstract, parallel universe based on algorithms, which mimics the 'real world', and it thinks that it understands the 'real world' perfectly well - because it knows all there is to know about it, as opposed to experiencing any of it.
So, you end up with bizarre ideas that can be frankly stupid and naive. To the AI agent, those ideas are perfectly rational and logical. They make sense.

Just Eat has apologised after it was ridiculed online over a series of mistakes with AI-generated pictures for some of its restaurants' food items.
The online food delivery platform had been testing out the tech to showcase food which didn't have images yet - but not all turned out as planned.
Instead the AI invented several bizarre concoctions, from bacon and eggs floating in a glass of cola - a confusion between "soda" and "soda bread" - to chips poking out of muffins.
A Just Eat spokesperson said the firm was "in the process of removing" the incorrect images, and would stop making more until the AI was further developed.
[...] A "cheese roll" was inexplicably turned into sushi.[...]
