Things that make you want another drink … Or puff.

AI, in it's current iteration, is an increasingly capable input/output machine. It will get even better over time as resources continue to be funneled into it at an unprecedentedly high rate.

But, that's what it should be viewed as - highly impressive input/output.

Taste and smell are just molecules and receptors. Machines will analyze molecules and compare to other known molecular compounds.

How can we “input” into a computer what something like a strawberry tastes like? Describe it as “sweet?” OK, what does “sweet” taste like?

AI tells me when to eat

It's not.

It's only going to say what someone programs it to say.
