Comments
Recipe development will need to be done by humans. Mundane preparation and such will almost certainly be automated, so consistent and easy-to-determine doneness foods (like french fries, mass-produced and standardized sandwiches, etc.) will likely be done by robots.
However, I can see the first AI James Beard or Michelin star-winning chef probably within 50-60 years.
