I just tried my hand at making hot cross buns and they turned out amazing! ChatGPT was like my personal sous-chef, suggesting some cool twists to the recipe, like a lemon milk drizzle topping and adding bread improver.
This was one of the first times I properly used an LLM for something outside of work. Not summarising papers or generating code, just making better buns. The suggestions were genuinely creative: the lemon milk drizzle was something I wouldn't have thought of, and the bread improver tip showed the kind of practical knowledge that's buried in forums and recipe books but surfaces naturally in conversation. It changed how I thought about these tools. They're not just for "serious" tasks; they're at their best when they're collaborating with you on whatever you actually care about in the moment.
