The Sour Chef Agent*
An expert in culinary disasters.
The only chef who ruins your meal—and makes it funny.
*WARNING: Attempt recipes at your own risk.
Calling for Collaborators
This delightfully disastrous culinary expert doesn't exist yet, so I'm inviting creative AI builders and developers to join forces with me in bringing it to life—purely for experimental fun. If you’re ready to help me cook up some chaos and humor, I’d love to collaborate on this exciting nonsense. What you'll get? A real-world interaction with a creative director to build something you have never done before. For experiential results only.

Sour Chef AI Collaboration Development Timeline
-
Total Estimated Time: 12–18 weeks.
-
Collaboration Check-ins: Regular check-ins (e.g., weekly) to track progress, exchange ideas, and troubleshoot.
-
Milestones: Use milestones (e.g., completion of data collection, model fine-tuning, UI/UX design, beta testing) to measure progress.
Ideation & Planning
(1–2 weeks)
Research & Dataset Collection
(2–3 weeks)
Rest of the plan
Clarify the scope of the project, finalize the Sour Chef’s personality, tone, and the type of interactions (e.g., recipe disasters, fixes, social media integration).
-
Deliverables:
-
Project brief.
-
Define the main features of the AI (recipe generator, disaster fixer, humorous responses).
-
Identify and assign roles in the collaboration (who will handle AI training, frontend, backend, etc.).
-
​
-
Collaborator Involvement: Provide input on feasibility and technical aspects of implementing humorous AI behavior.
​Gather data for fine-tuning the AI, focusing on real recipes and cooking disasters to build an initial dataset. Create a database of humorous responses and "fixes" to be used in interaction scripts.
​
-
Deliverables:
-
Curate real-world recipes to use as a base.
-
Develop a set of "intentionally flawed" recipes for training the AI.
-
Collect humorous and sarcastic dialogue snippets for the Sour Chef’s personality.
-
​
-
Collaborator Involvement: Assist in determining the best data sources and suggest how to integrate the satirical tone into the AI model.
