Better to make a few mistakes

Robots are discovering that it is best that food taste a bit rubbish so that humans do not work out that it is not made by them.

Chipotle just announced Chippy, an AI kitchen assistant that will help make its tortilla chips in restaurants where the autonomous robot gets deployed.

Chipotle said it could have made Chippy absolutely perfect but instead it was programmed Chippy to have some inconsistency in results on purpose to mimic the technique of the humans who currently produce the chain's chips.

Chipotle VP of Culinary Nevielle Panthaky said in a statement. ""Everyone loves finding a chip with a little more salt or an extra hint of lime. To ensure we didn't lose the humanity behind our culinary experience, we trained Chippy extensively to ensure the output mirrored our current product, delivering some subtle variations in flavour that our guests expect."
