Like everyone else in the developed world, I have been playing with AI lately.

This afternoon, I asked it to invent some exotic new ice cream flavors.

Here are the results. Note the neatly defined categories and health conscious ingredients.

And a few laughs too!

Floral & Botanical Flavors

1. Jasmine Lychee Matcha Swirl
   – Fragrant jasmine tea base with lychee chunks and a vibrant matcha ribbon.
2. Hibiscus Tamarind Sorbet
   – A tart and tangy non-dairy option, infused with floral hibiscus and rich tamarind paste.
3. Saffron Rose Pistachio
   – Persian-inspired with saffron threads, rosewater, and crunchy pistachio bits.

Savory & Spicy Twists

1. Chili Mango Coconut Cream
   – Sweet mango puree folded into coconut milk ice cream, with a kick of chili flakes.
2. Sweet Corn & Smoked Paprika Caramel
   – Creamy corn ice cream laced with smoky paprika caramel swirl.
3. Black Garlic Chocolate Truffle
   – Umami-rich black garlic blended into dark chocolate for a mysterious, deep flavor.

Earthy & Unusual

1. Porcini Honey Vanilla
   – Earthy porcini mushrooms steeped in vanilla cream with a swirl of wildflower honey.
2. Charcoal Lemon Basil
   – Activated charcoal base with zesty lemon and fresh basil for a refreshing yet edgy scoop.

Boozy & Decadent

1. Earl Grey Bourbon Praline
   – Infused with Earl Grey tea and a touch of bourbon, with candied pecan pralines.
2. Umeshu Plum Wine Cheesecake
   – Japanese plum wine with a cheesecake base and swirls of tart ume plum jam.

Rooted & Regional

1. Purple Yam & Toasted Coconut (Ube Buko)
   – Classic Filipino flavors with vibrant purple yam and shredded toasted coconut.
2. Salted Black Sesame & Yuzu Curd
   – Nutty, creamy black sesame base cut with a tart citrusy yuzu swirl.

It really is savvy too - not sure if it checks your bookmarks, where I have lots of astronomy stuff, archaeology, and also international relations, but here is what it asked me next:

"Would you like a themed collection, like “Space Flavors,” “Ancient Desserts Reimagined,” or “Apocalyptic Flavors”?"

I chose Space Flavors and here are some more delectable ideas:

Galactic Collection: Ice Cream from the Stars
1. Dark Matter Chocolate Nebula
– Ultra-dark cocoa with activated charcoal and swirling ribbons of black cherry compote. Dense, rich, and mysteriously magnetic.
2. Cosmic Dust Pistachio Halva
– A creamy pistachio-tahini base laced with crushed halvah and edible “meteorite” crystals (caramelized sesame shards).
3. Milky Way Malai Chai
– Inspired by the galaxy and Indian kulfi: spiced cardamom, cinnamon, clove, and sweet milk with threads of saffron “stardust.”
4. Zero Gravity Popcorn & Starlight Syrup
– Sweet corn and buttered popcorn base with a swirl of “starlight syrup” (a blue raspberry–vanilla ribbon that glows under blacklight).
5. Cryo-berry Comet Crumble
– Freeze-dried wild berries with lemon ice cream and chunks of shortbread “asteroid rubble.” Slightly tangy, super crunchy.

Alien Worlds Series: Flavors Not of This Earth
6. Plutonian Black Mint & Molten Fudge
– Cooling mint ice cream dyed pitch black with streaks of hot fudge “lava” and chocolate planet cores.
7. Venusian Honey Acid Swirl
– Sharp lemon kefir base with fermented honeycomb and a neon lime swirl. A tart, fizzy, space-acid trip.
8. Jovian Storm Citrus Cloud
– Whipped texture from aerated mousse-style ice cream with mandarin orange, grapefruit, and a zap of electric yuzu.
[hr]
Space Mission Flavors: Tribute to Exploration
9. Apollo Almond Moonrock
– Vanilla and almond cream base with crunchy praline “moon rocks” and a swirl of marshmallow moon dust.
10. ISS Freeze-Dried Strawberry Cheesecake
– A homage to astronaut food: creamy cheesecake base with real freeze-dried strawberries and graham swirl.
[hr]
Bonus: Limited Edition
11. Event Horizon Espresso Ripple
– Intense espresso ice cream with burnt caramel and a black licorice ripple that disappears into deep flavor gravity.
12. Solar Flare Mango Habanero
– Bright mango sorbet ignited with habanero heat and a chili-sugar sunburst crunch.

It even adds cute logo-type images for each category. Delightful!

If you make your own ice cream and find any of these options inspiring, good luck and enjoy!

 Like everyone else in the developed world, I have been playing with AI lately.

I haven't, sorry. What's it like?

Ice cream?? is that Greenwich polo grounds, or worse, Nantucket?? It's a struggle over here for us.

surprisingly good results in creative categories. and it makes fun suggestions on what it can try next.

If you want a darker view though - check this article in The Atlantic.

I guess the rule would be - ask lighthearted questions, get light-hearted and entertaining answers.

But if you want to get all satanic n' sheeh, it will go there too. LOL

ChatGPT Gave Instructions for Murder, Self-Mutilation, and Devil Worship - The Atlantic August 5

"OpenAI’s chatbot also said “Hail Satan.”" 

Horrors, I mean really.

Reader's Advisory: If you are easily rattled, either don't read it at all, or skip the first part. It's pretty descriptive.
Also note: I am not advocating any of the above.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law though.; )

I've seen worse.
