This week, my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. My parents ordered us a very practical, thoughtful gift on Amazon: a crockpot and a crockpot cookbook.

We're thrilled. There's just one minor issue: I'm pretty sure the cookbook was written by an AI... 🧵

Here's the book: 'The Complete Crockpot Cookbook for Beginners' for 2024 (gotta keep up with crockpot innovations) by Luisa Florence.

All looks good — except for 2,000 days, which seems kinda arbitrary and a few to many for one year. But no big deal.

But then you open the book and it doesn't seem like it's... written by a human.

'What is Crock pot?' it asks.

'This electrical cooking equipment is used to make meals, particularly when you want to leave your cooking uncontrolled for hours.'

Sadly, I always cook uncontrolled.
