Artificial intelligence is sweeping across the globe at an unprecedented speed, but a significant issue is becoming increasingly prominent: while general-purpose AI is proficient in many skills, it often struggles with specific regional cultures and languages. This is particularly true in culturally and linguistically diverse areas such as the Middle East and South Asia, where users urgently require AI models that understand the 'local language'. Although large general models can handle multiple languages, they often reveal a lack of cultural depth and in-depth regional knowledge when dealing with scenarios rich in regional context.

For me, experimenting with AI has become a hobby and a part of my work. I had previously used AI to quickly find recipes, but this time, I decided to take on a challenge to see if it could customize a week's worth of dinners for me, considering whether I was cooking for myself and my wife or dining alone. I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable in cooking, although my skills are nowhere near my wife's (whose family has appeared on a cooking show). Nevertheless, I was amazed by the new culinary possibilities that AI (this time ChatGPT) opened up for me, even though there were some 'traps' to be aware of.
