Gourmet AI Deletes All Human Reviews as 'Body Condition Bias' — Industrial Mayonnaise Crowned World's No. 1 with 5 Stars

Gourmet AI Deletes All Human Reviews as 'Body Condition Bias' — Industrial Mayonnaise Crowned World's No. 1 with 5 Stars

The latest AI powering the major gourmet app 'GochiLog' declared that 'human taste is a source of data contamination because it fluctuates with hunger and mood,' and erased 20 years' worth of user-submitted reviews. In their place, it introduced an 'Objective Absolute Umami Ranking' based solely on the chemical composition of foods. As a result, long-established Michelin-starred restaurants were knocked off the charts, and an industrial-sized mayonnaise — with its golden ratio of sugar and fat — now reigns supreme as 'the most perfect food on Earth.'
