Buy a fucking book about baking. Not a fancy colour print recipe book, but a textbook, you know the kind with a chapter or two about dough chemistry.

If nothing else, as a beginner you have no idea which questions to ask and ChatGPT is never going to give you a dissertation about fundamental knowledge and principles. And you have absolutely no way to tell whether ChatGPT is spouting random nonsense.

I bought a fucking book more than one and it wasn't as good. A fucking book can't examine a picture and tell me what went wrong, the fucking book I bought didn't have subsistion charts, the fucking book I bought didn't respond to cntrl+F

Did you get this comment response or should I have faxed it to you?

If you need ChatGPT to analyse a picture for you you lack very basic knowledge about baking. It can't smell, it can't touch, it can't hear, and it has never fucking ever baked. It has never taken a wet and sticky dough, tensioned it, and, voila, suddenly it's a pleasure to handle.

And substitution charts? For what? If you understood the underlying dough chemistry you wouldn't be asking in the first place. As said: You lack the basic knowledge to know what questions to ask, and once you have that knowledge your questions will only be answered by experiment.

"If you studied the topic for multiple years of your life AI is useless" Great, thank you, I didn't know that

I'm a capable home baker, no more no less. You'll learn more and faster learning from sources which actually know what they're talking about is all I'm saying. Want to spend the next 10 years dabbling around still not learning anything of substance, go ahead, be my guest, stick with ChatGPT.
