ChatGPT the Homebrewer

Looks like you two had a great conversation.

It also seems like ChatGPT has been a long time lurker on the forums :wink:

I guess my job here is done

It seems like it is just regurgitating the same garbage you would get from a Google search.

It seems like it’s an AI that knows everything in the world but can’t quite put all the info together.

It’s definitely learning–maybe from interaction. I asked it to write homebrewing recipes around Thanksgiving and it completely left out running off the mash or sparging.

I asked it to come up with a food recipe for a list of ingredients and it was a surprisingly good recipe.

I’m a dork and I asked it to write me a sea shanty about brewing an IPA… I say Denny and I record it. :slight_smile:

(Verse 1)
Come gather 'round me lads and lasses
I’ll sing to ye a tale of fine glasses
Filled with a brew that’s rich and hoppy
An IPA that’s oh so tasty

(Chorus)
Heave ho, me hearties, let’s brew some ale
We’ll mash the grains and set the sail
With hops and yeast and water true
We’ll brew a beer that’s fit for you

(Verse 2)
We’ll start with malt that’s pale and sweet
And add some crystal for a treat
Then in goes the hops, so bright and bold
With their bitter flavor and aroma to behold

(Chorus)
Heave ho, me hearties, let’s brew some ale
We’ll mash the grains and set the sail
With hops and yeast and water true
We’ll brew a beer that’s fit for you

(Verse 3)
We’ll boil the wort and add some more
Hops for flavor, aroma galore
Then we’ll cool it down and pitch the yeast
And wait for the magic, a brewer’s feast

(Chorus)
Heave ho, me hearties, let’s brew some ale
We’ll mash the grains and set the sail
With hops and yeast and water true
We’ll brew a beer that’s fit for you

(Verse 4)
The yeast will do its work, fermenting true
Turning the wort into a brew
Then we’ll transfer it, nice and slow
Into a keg, or bottles, to let it mellow

(Chorus)
Heave ho, me hearties, let’s brew some ale
We’ll mash the grains and set the sail
With hops and yeast and water true
We’ll brew a beer that’s fit for you

(Verse 5)
And now we raise a glass, to our hard work done
The IPA we’ve brewed, is second to none
With its citrus and pine, and bitter bite
It’s a beer that’s fit for a sailor’s delight

(Chorus)
Heave ho, me hearties, let’s brew some ale
We’ll mash the grains and set the sail
With hops and yeast and water true
We’ll brew a beer that’s fit for you.

Oh great. Now I’ve got that chorus stuck in my head :wink:

I don’t know if ChatGPT is here to stay in this form, but I forsee a similar interface being woven into Alexa and other smart appliances in the very near future. It certainly has some decent cooking chops (at least as far as recipes go). Here’s a conversation from my house a few nights ago:

Son: Dad, have you heard of ChatGPT? We’re playing with it in class.
Me: Yeah, I’ve played with it a bit
Son: What’s for dinner?
Me: Burgers
Son: I’m going to ask ChatGPT for a burger seasoning recipe. What country or style should we try?
Me: Texas

Two minutes later we were picking through the spice rack to make a seasoning mix. And let me tell you those were some damn good burgers. I’m glad I made a big enough batch of seasoning to last for a while.
