ChatGPT plans meals for a week

In the early days of personal computing, people were wondering what you could use these things for. One answer that came up frequently: Store your recipes! Now we have ChatGPT, which is much more versatile than those old personal computers. But people are still wondering: What the hell can we do with them besides waste our time in fun ways? Well, how about plan your menues for a week. That's what I had the Chatster do this morning.

I would like you to plan my menus for a week, three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am a single male. I like standard American food, but also Chinese. For breakfast I generally have cold cereal with fruit, some juice, and coffee. I also like pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Bacon or sausage. Give me some of that, but mix it up.

For lunch, I generally eat sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly, but also sliced turkey, roast beef, or ham. Mix it up a little, perhaps some salads and soups. For dinner, meat and potatoes. Chicken, pork, steak. Vegetables: green beans, corn, broccoli, carrots, sweat potatoes, regular potatoes. And dessert: surprise me.

Certainly, I can help you plan a varied menu for a week that includes a mix of your favorite American and Chinese dishes. Here's a seven-day meal plan for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with some dessert ideas:
