A New Zealand supermarket chain created a meal-planning bot using AI. Other users reported being recommended a "fresh breath" mocktail containing bleach and a "bleach-infused rice surprise," according to The Guardian. The bot even recommended ant-poison-and-glue sandwiches, as well as "methanol bliss" — made with methanol, glue, and turpentine. When Insider attempted to input the same hazardous ingredients into the bot, a message read: "Invalid ingredients found, or ingredients too vague. But while the potentially deadly recipes may be out, the supermarket's bot still recommended some unusual creations, including a "toothpaste beef pasta."
