Fair point, I agree there should be such a check. It seems for now that the only ones affected were people who tried to intentionally mess with it. It will be a hard goal to reach completely because what's ok and healthy for some could also be a deathly allergic reaction for others. There's always going to have to be some personal accountability for the person preparing a meal to understand what they're making is safe.
They're a supermarket, and they own the data for the items they stock. No reason they couldn't have used their own taxonomy to eliminate the ability to use non-food items in their poorly implemented AI.
Love how they blame the people that tried it. Like it's their fault the AI was released for public use without thinking about the consequences. Typical corporate blame shifting.
