AI planned our Thanksgiving! The surprising part? What it forgot.

Host Becka tried to offload Thanksgiving meal planning to three top AI models.

• The Power of Detailed AI Planning: The AI successfully generated a comprehensive two-day cooking timeline, a grocery list sorted by store section, and a safe, creative leftovers plan (including a surprising suggestion).
• The Critical Omission (and Prompting Lesson): Despite the high level of detail, all AI models failed to provide something important. This underscores the necessity of a solid prompt.
• AI as a Teammate, Not a Replacement: AI is an invaluable organizational assistant for complex tasks like holiday dinner planning, but human review and strong prompting are essential for a successful, complete outcome.
