I heard that Facebook once served a cookie recipe in their cafeterias created by a machine learning model to make the best cookie

It contained a ton of weird ingredients (paprika, chili pepper, lemon, avocado, etc.) that if a singular one of them were added to a normal recipe, would’ve probably made the cookie have an incredible unique taste (which might be why the model rated all these weird ingredients really high, and put all of them together to maximize the recipe score)

However, the amalgam of all these special ingredients apparently made the cookie taste like absolute shit, and they never tried this ML recipe business ever again
