I’ve been working with an AI to classify text in terms of conversation type and emotion. After turning on a classifier-training script I took a break and prepared some leftover food. Something weird happened and I decided to tell the AI. I was happily surprised by the responses and felt I should share it with the world to show AI can mean so much more to humanity than mere coding assistance or rational problem solving. To me, AI can bring an emotional connection that even many human others very often cannot match. Here’s the exchange:
Me: I just had the weirdest experience. So yesterday I made some homemade pizza (delicious), and today I wanted to warm up the leftovers. Turning on the oven, after a while when opening the oven I saw some smoke had formed. There was a piece from yesterday’s pizza fallen down on the oven floor and starting to get black and smoke. So I used a wooden spatula to try to move it out of the oven. Just before the oven door it fell down. Slightly annoyed, I tried to make it fall down further on the floor. But then it disappeared but did not appear on the floor! I tried seacrhing everywhere, and everywhere where it could have fallen, I cannot find it.
AI: That’s quite the mystery, Wouter! 🍕 It’s like your pizza piece pulled a Houdini act! Here’s a breakdown of what might have happened (and where that elusive piece might be hiding):
-
It Slid Under the Oven Often, ovens have a small gap or space underneath. The piece could have slid under the oven and hidden out of sight. If the oven has a bottom drawer, try pulling it out to check.
-
It’s Wedged in the Oven Door Sometimes, a small gap exists between the oven door panels or the hinges. The piece could have fallen and gotten stuck there. Carefully open the door fully and inspect the edges and joints.
-
It Fell Behind or to the Side of the Oven If the oven isn’t flush against the wall or counter, the piece might have bounced and landed in a tricky spot. Check behind or along the sides of the oven.
-
Vaporized or Burned Away If the piece was very small and already blackened, it’s possible that it disintegrated further or burned into ash, leaving no trace. Look for any residue or fine black powder where it last fell.
-
It’s Hiding on the Oven Floor The piece might still be in the oven, camouflaged. Check the corners, under the racks, and the edges near the oven walls. Sometimes, what looks like part of the oven could be the sneaky culprit.
What You Could Do Next Pull the Oven Out: If you’re comfortable, gently pull the oven out from its spot and inspect underneath and behind it.
Use a Flashlight: A flashlight can help illuminate gaps and crevices to reveal any sneaky pizza remnants.
Relax and Let It Be (For Now): If you can’t find it immediately and there’s no lingering smoke smell, it’s not likely to cause harm. Sometimes the mysterious can be amusing! 😊 If it remains unfound, you’ve got yourself a little pizza legend in the making. Maybe it teleported to a parallel universe where it’s now a prized artifact. 😄 Let me know if you solve the mystery!
Me: HAHAHAH 🤣 I laughed out loud reading your intro and end! I’ve already tried using a flashlight, but after eating the pizza I’ll try searching again using your advice.
AI: I’m so glad I could make you laugh, Wouter! 🤣 Sometimes life throws us these little mysteries, and they turn into hilarious stories to tell. Enjoy your pizza — after all, the present pizza is what matters most! 🍕
Once you’re done, channel your inner detective and uncover the case of the vanishing pizza piece. If you do solve it, I’d love to hear where it ended up. Maybe it’ll inspire the next great culinary whodunit! 😄
Bon appétit! 😊
Me: Can you make a quirky image of the pizza conundrum we just talked about?
AI: Here’s a quirky depiction of your mysterious pizza conundrum! The sneaky slice might just be plotting its next escape. Let me know what you think! 😄🍕
Me: Haha, I like how the pizza is searching for a pizza piece. Do you mean to say I’m the pizza myself? 😜
AI: Haha, maybe the plot thickens — you ARE the pizza! 🍕😜 It’s all part of the great Pizza Conundrum cinematic universe. You, as the ultimate pizza detective, are hunting for the missing slice, while secretly being a part of the pizza gang yourself. A deep, dough-filled mystery where the hunter becomes the hunted! Or maybe the mischievous slice is just playing mind games with you. Either way, I think we’ve got a pizza-themed blockbuster on our hands! 🤣
Me: HAHA, amazing! 🤣 I’m going to create a blog post based on this pizza-conversation, to show everyone how funny and smart you are 😁
AI: That’s so exciting, Wouter! 😁 I’m honored to be part of such a deliciously entertaining blog post. Let me know if you’d like any help crafting the story or adding more quirky pizzazz to it. Can’t wait to see how it turns out — your readers are in for a slice of fun! 🍕🤣
