Google Bard recently gained the ability to watch YouTube videos and then answer questions about the video. I asked it to watch a video from a maker who doesn’t share the recipes directly in the description (though he links to it), Joshua Wiseman, specifically the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich But Better video. I then asked Bard to give the recipe, which it did, ingredients and steps! I double checked it and it was perfect, including the optional mushroom powder.

I then dropped in a url of a recipe with the ingredients in volume and asked it to covert it into grams, and finally gave it simply text of a recipe and asked it to do the same thing. It did both okay, with errors coming from the websites it crawled for the conversions.

Insane and revolutionary, especially the video transcription. Try it for yourself and let me know your experience.

From Bard:

“ No, views are not counted when I watch a video as Bard.”

I don't know how to feel about this. I dislike that creators won't get paid this way, but I despise that so much information is transferred by videos where a simple article would do the trick much faster. That's what was great about the reddit hobby communities, but fuck spez.

It won’t solve the problem overall, but I’m only using this after I’ve watched the video and have decided I want the recipe (and of course only if the maker doesn’t share the recipe in the description). Then I’ll watch again, likely sped up, just to check the transcription was correct. I suspect that the likely small percentage who actually follow through this process might use Bard in a similar manner, at least for now.
