I have been playing with ChatGPT, an AI chatbot. I even created a blog called "Just Some AI" where I showcase conversations with ChatGPT and images I made with Night Cafe Studios.
We had an enlightening conversation about hot peppers, which I have excerpted here. Read the whole conversation on "Just Some AI".
ChatGPT: Scoville value is a measure of the pungency (or perceived heat) of a chili pepper based on the amount of capsaicin present in the pepper. The amount of capsaicin is not directly related to the amount of spice or the heat level of a dish, as the perceived heat can also be affected by other factors such as the quantity and type of other ingredients used in a dish, cooking methods, and personal taste preferences.
Note that the actual heat perceived will depend on individual taste and tolerance, as well as other factors such as the amount of pepper mixture used and the other ingredients in the recipe.
Breeze Boi (kittehboi): Some chili powders are described as having different flavors like specific fruits, chocolate, smoke, sour, bitter, sweet.
Can I have a list of hot peppers with their Scoville value and flavor?
ChatGPT: Sure, here's a list of hot peppers with their Scoville rating and flavor profile:
- Carolina Reaper - 1.4 million to 2.2 million - Sweet and fruity with an extremely intense heat
