As a die-hard fan of Gordon Ramsay and someone who has binged countless episodes of “Kitchen Nightmares,” I must admit that this AI-created video is a peculiar blend of familiarity and discomfort, firmly nestled within the Uncanny Valley. The depiction of the chef is eerily accurate, yet his antics in the kitchen are anything but the meticulous, precise techniques we’ve come to expect from him.
Artificial intelligence is capable of identifying the least appealing films ever made and generating unsettling trailers reminiscent of 1950s “Terminator,” yet it has not yet reached a point where it can perfectly replicate the chaotic atmosphere of a professional kitchen. A video clip featuring an AI portraying Gordon Ramsay in his typical setting has been released, and to be honest, the methods this fictional Ramsay uses are quite extraordinary, making for a very unusual kitchen disaster.
The video shows the chef demolishing pots and pans, tearing sacks of flour apart, unveiling gigantic mounds of pasta, causing multiple strange fire and wine-themed disaster scenarios, and even causing a huge pan of chocolate sauce to levitate. Despite the many absurdities in the video and the AI Ramsay’s unnervingly rippling face, the clip still manages to capture some of the man’s mannerisms and overall vibe, which places the whole thing firmly in the Uncanny Valley.
AI can depict food increasingly well
The Gordon Ramsay AI video isn’t intended to showcase the chef’s typical kitchen skills. Instead, it shows him creating chaos at every step, which is twice as funny for fans who recall his strict emphasis on hygiene and cleanliness during “Kitchen Nightmares.
Despite the unsettling nature of the clip, filled with repeated flour explosions and liquid cascades, it’s hard to ignore that the AI-generated kitchen settings and food items appear quite realistic. In just a short span of time, AI video technology has significantly advanced in this specific area. The 2023 “Pepperoni Hug Spot” AI commercial, infamous for its uncanny unnaturalness, received much attention. However, its 2024 remake showcases the impressive ability of artificial intelligence to create authentic food-related visuals. It’s plausible that future AI cooking videos might portray renowned chefs and their advanced culinary techniques, which could potentially be a whole new level of kitchen chaos for TV chefs like Ramsay, perhaps even a new kind of kitchen nightmare.
