Really grateful that you guys seem to have brought captioning in-house recently. In older videos the captioners would often have difficulty understanding either cooking terms, english accents, or both, and it wound up making some of the captions outright unreadable. Love the clear captions in recent videos, written by people familiar with the cooking terminology, the accents, and the names/nicknames of the people in the videos. Great shout!
Yeah, it seems much improved recently, although there's still an odd mistake (today's was: plumb!) here and there, the quality has improved compared with a few months back
@@ChrisWar666 A few years ago I had to comment on a few videos to point out that the captions were complete gibberish, because it was preventing me from watching the video - not even just typos or misheard words, more than once I saw videos that were genuinely incomprehensible start to finish and it was obvious the captioner couldn't understand them and no quality check had been done. The Sorted team have always been quick to fix things that have been pointed out, but man videos coming out this good right off the jump is so refreshing.
@@rowan9705 yeah, I have a feeling that a lot of subtitles on the web are just speech-to-text and no-one double checking them afterwards. I'm not sure if that was a problem here at sorted or not, but if someone used that as a base and did a quick listen.... Bleh. Anyway, very happy that an (99.99%? 😜) perfect video came out 😁
@@ChrisWar666 I emailed them about 2 months ago to ask if they could consider adding proper subtitles for accessibility, not just UA-cam autogenerated ones, they replied saying they’d look into it and just a couple weeks later, all their new videos had them! Was astonished and very proud 💖 To be clear, it’s not gonna be an actual human at sorted manually doing it, hence still some small mistakes, but by adding the subtitles themselves, they have control over which software creates them and are using a much better one than UA-cam autogenerate
Guys, as a graphic designer and artist the recent use of ai for the images of the dishes really disappoints and discourages me - considering the previous illustrations of dishes were beautiful and and imaginative, these just feel lazy and inaccurate with a spring roll being shown as a sushi roll. Love your work guys - defiantly have been an inspiration for both general creativity and to my cooking!
Mikes dish made me laugh so hard! It reminded me of the episode of Parks & Rec when Chris cooks Ron, who is a notorious carnivore, a mushroom instead of the steak he was expecting, and he nearly faints! 😂😂
I love watching Jamie come up with stuff and just cackle as it comes together. I'm not creative or brave, but that man makes things I would devour every time he cooks.
The AI examples at the beginning felt off folks...I know it's easier but as a few have already said, it doesn't feel right for Sorted. All this is said with love as I've been watching since your "innuendo bingo" episode. 😂
as a note, long fan of the channel, it's a little disappointing seeing you guys use AI art as part of the video - i really enjoyed the drawings you had before
I'd love to see an unplanned food restrictions !! The guys are so creative and in this one especially Mike expanded out into making a popular meat dish into a vegetarian version: not sure if it's perfectly on-format, but to add to the frantic nature of an unplanned battle with "oh and you also can't use eggs/dairy/gluten/certain meats", some of the common dietary restrictions you might come across when you're having guests over!
I loved seeing Jamie and Mike having fun and helping eachother out, the constant giggling, and just having true fun, was a genuine treat ;) I love your friendship...its what makes your channel work so well. Ebbers... I always love your honest feedback... which I can only imagine is a hard thing to do considering having to judge your friends. But you always are honest with your cheffiness😂 To all of you, normals, chefs and crew!!! Thank you for sharing and delivering exceptional content, tips and tricks and letting us "viewers" into your lives.
7:30 mike seeing what jamie is doing and immediately starting remember the paella debacle, and jamie desperately trying to stop that line of conversation before its brouvht up into the world is hysterical
Jamie rolling and then frying that spring roll made me chortle with glee... And then when the cloche got stuck on the plate... I was laughing so much that I cried! I loved what Mike did with the dish though - that is probably the one I would choose to eat out of the two. But the way that Jamie was giggling throughout and the way that he cradled that roll like it was his newborn child made my day!
Can't help but notice that the artist depictions at the beginning were lacking / had additional ingredients. I do hope that Ai wasn't used for them and that was just because of the unplanned nature of this.
Say you have an idea or ingredients for a dish but are just bad at plating or not very artistic in that way although you can cook good food. You can use AI to generate plating examples before you start cooking. Perhaps you have too much brown or just all monotone colors and didn't realize it so you add more colors before its too late. This is a UA-cam video but imagine a chef in a small restaurant making a menu. They're probably not going to hire someone just for food presentation, so a tool like this can be very cheap and useful.
Really not a fan of the AI art that's started to be used in recent videos. The art looks bad and is a poor representation of what the food is actually going to look like. In today's videos Jamie's image had rice in when the final product didn't. Mike's in general was a hot mess with the tomatoes randomly having it's stalk on top, the chips being completely the wrong kind and the sauce being AI in the worst possible way. If they were actually getting a good end result I'd maybe understand but it looks terrible even when you disregard the moral debate
Honestly yeah. Especially with how much the guys have always seemed focused on both general sustainability and building a community. As creators themselves you''d have hoped they were aware of the damaging aspects of AI art and the way it's very much stealing from other artists on other to function at all. Granted that we don't know what AI they're using and how it was trained but considering there are very few, if any, visual generating AI's that are trained completely in house with the sheer scale of imagery needed... It certainly seems like a consideration and conversation that SORTED should be able to have since we've seen them rise up to similar challenges in the past.
Ive watched literally every single one of your episodes over what feels like a life time yet ive never commented, I am recovering from a gastric sleeve surgery and my relationship with food has changed forever, but I so so so look forward to cooking some more of your excellent recipes once able, it would be really cool if you could do an episode around bariatric friendly meals,you guys are all rays of sunshine and have put together such a fantastic and entertaining product, I cant wait for many more years and thank you for being a part of my life for so long! I understand this may not be read but thanks to the whole cast and crew ❤❤❤
There's so much here that could be giffed... Jamie's laugh, Ben's reaction to hearing it had been paned, Mike's "Misteaken Identity"... It was all too good.
I love the relaxed format with us getting to see the crew more and the chaos of filming 💜 Keep giving us chaos and fun with the whole crew involved, please!
Jamies squeal followed by we did it in that tone of voice after he got that in the oil really showed his excitement. He is also truly the king of Fusion cuisine on Sorted, you just never really know what he will combine next
Just going to say, this is everything I love in a food challenge. The bold ideas, the unique fusions and creations, dancing in the grey area of the rules. Absolute perfection!
Some feedback for a particular choice in this video (0:58 and 2:14): I won't be watching this video or any other that uses AI-generated images, especially without any disclaimers. Hope this doesn't become a trend for you, as I've enjoyed your content for many years.
As much as my has-a-ribeye-for-tomorrow's-dinner self is opposed to the existence of Mike's dish, I can't deny he thoroughly deserved that plating badge the Pizza Pilgrim guys awarded him because it looks so classy!
Lads, your audience has already been clear on this in IG comments - using AI art goes against many of the values you’ve so vocally supported for years. Please educate yourselves and reconsider this approach in future videos. It doesn’t add to the quality of the video itself and (as the comments already show) actually serves to distract from your otherwise excellent content. If these were actually the work of an artist I apologize, but the style and the conspicuous absence of artist credit suggests otherwise.
Still love this. I've seen it already, but something I noticed this time was Mike's excitement about Jamie's behemoth. It's a reminder that it's a contest, yes, but it's also a couple of old friends cooking together. "What can I do to help?" That really says it all.
People who are furious at Sorted for, purportedly, using AI art are really missing the forest for the trees. Instead of obsessing over symptoms, it'll be more worthwhile to direct our attention to the root cause - the lack of preparedness and adaptability in a changing technological and social landscape. Going around villifying individuals who are using Generative AI on a small scale to make their lives a little more convenient is a futile exercise. It's like how some "urbanists" love to blame car drivers for city sprawl and bad public transport instead of working to foster political will against irresponsible city planning. Or, instead of getting involved into their local politics, working to spread awareness and galvanizing civil society to put pressure on governments to institute more welfare measures and improve social security, people will just sit at their keyboards, push all the blame for socio-economic inequities and weak economic mobility onto private property and personal wealth and call for communist revolutions with zero appreciation for the fact that oppressive and authoritarian structures are indispensable if a communist society is to last. What's happening in all these instances is akin to trying to fight an epidemic by killing the infected instead of attacking the infection. AI is not the enemy. This is not the first time that technological progress threatens to be disruptive and creates the potential for economic upheaval. This time is not unlike when we built machines to till the soil, draw water, grind our grain, move heavy loads, do our calculations and even, build themselves. Each technological leap has brought about big changes in labour and income patterns and came fraught with employment anxieties for many people. And yet, once we got over the tough transition phase and reached a new equilibrium, technological growth, has more often than not, made an improved standard of living accessible to more people than before. What we need to understand, as people who hold the power to shape the society we will live in tomorrow, is that technological progress is desirable. However, we need to make the transition phase as painless as possible. The solution is not, therefore, to hunt down every single person who relies on AI for some tasks instead of paying a human to do it, and name and shame them. Instead, what we need to do is to create political awareness about the social and economic consequences of a rapid and reckless transition and lobby our governments to provide adequate safety nets for people who may become displaced during this new phase of automation and to institute measures to help them remain viable in a shifting market. Also, what we need is to bind the tech industry within ethical frameworks to ensure that their products and procedures do not threaten the health, safety and fundamental rights of people. We need to regulate tech the way we have done with medicine, manufacturing, transport networks and other industries. There needs to legislation and administrative infrastructure to ensure that products of the tech industry must meet certain ethical standards and prove themselves to not be in violation of human interests, before they are allowed to enter the market. These are the areas where the discourse needs to be focused on, both in politics and in civil society, instead of wasting time with self-righteous witch-hunts against individuals exploring the possibilities of a new technology. A lot of academic work is also needed across multiple disciplines like law, economics, sociology, political science, computer science as well as philosophy to help us build a knowledge base that can inform both responsible public opinion as well as effective legislation. If you really want to do something, think about how you can contribute as a citizen as well as a student/professional to building responsive and resilient systems that can address the social, economic or environmental challenges of AI integration. Moral grandstanding achieves nothing and often does more harm than good. Even if you or I made a personal choice to steer clear generative AI, it wouldn't make much difference. It's about as effective in the grand scheme of things as giving up meat or plastic straws is for global warming. On top of that, if we also went about bullying people for not going vegan or choosing a single use plastic over a more sustainable alternative or asking AI to draw them a picture, then we are the ones who are being selfish and inconsiderate.
Nori, and springroll wrapping on the out side, Sausage, steak, pickles, patte, sauce and blood pudding. This just a fat deep fried bibimbap. With seemingly random ingredients, but still a bibimbap structure
There are SO many professional chefs that NEVER make the noises Jamie made in this episode. He TRULY loves what he does and I absolutely am here for it always! :)
Kinda disappointing to see the use of AI art in the new videos knowing they could easily afford to pay a real artist instead of using programs that take from artists without permission.
About the copyright issue, it's still a grey area where legal precedent is lacking. Currently, you can argue convincingly that generative AI art should be classified as a derivative work and thus, if produced without first obtaining a licence from the copyright holder, it should be deemed content theft. But, you can make an equally strong case for generative AI to be considered an original work that has, simply, been influenced by older works it used as reference materials. Influences, archetypes and design ideas can't be copyrighted. Copyright protects the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. Referencing a copyrighted work, alone, shouldn't necessarily be considered infringement.
The mock up illustrations you show at 0:59 and 2:14, are they AI generated?? If they are, I think we'd all prefer you to pay actual artists to make the illustrations instead 😔
the use of ai art on a channel dedicated to the craft and love of the process of cooking is disappointing to me. its disrespectful to the artists worldwide who put time, care and passion into their art - to disrespect their time, effort and dedication on a channel dedicated to fostering those same feelings in the home cook is disappointing. i love this channel, and would love it if you guys chose to support artists in this time when their life's work is being devalued and stolen to create these image generating models; having no art would be vastly preferable to this, even.
Couple of ideas, the no heat battle, make them use techniques like quick cures and pickels, cooking time limited pass it on, have a timer with say 10 minutes on the clock and that's all the combined cooking time they have (preheating pans not included) and a "U turn/tangent" challenge, have them start cooking a dish theme or cuisine, then half way through throw them the curveball of completely changing the theme/style, could even work in a pass it on, have each person spin a wheel at the beginning of their turn to pick a random cuisine for the finished dish and see where it ends up!
Really enjoyed the video, and just wanted to echo the discomfort expressed by other comments about the use of AI generated images. As a channel with creativity at it’s heart it would be great to see you guys promoting real human artists; perhaps commissioning different smaller artists from within the community for different videos could be a nice form of collaboration?
Hate the new, almost certainly AI-generated images of the dishes which barely reflect the final product that'll be put on the plate and just look dreadful and grotesque.
On top of being outright theft from actual artist, the AI Art really took away from the overall feel of the video. Hand drawn art adds so much more personality! Plus it feels very against Sorted's ethical mission. I just wanted to echo the sentiments of the other commenters so that this will hopefully be taken seriously in future videos.
hey, i like the video but please don't use the ai for the illustrations of the food, it's distracting and is worse than no illustrations at all. i understand if you are too busy or there are some budget constraints limiting the illustrations but please just include no images if you need to.
Those AI generated drawings are just... so gross looking. Just really unappetizing and they just lack character. I hope their inclusion is a temporary one
I love you guys but I think using AI for the previews of the dishes is kinda annoying - you could pay an artist to make an actual artist's rendition of the dish, which would probably look less faintly horrific! I just think there are artists out there that would appreciate the work, and the process of making a described dish come to life.
it is AI generated so yeah, it is an algorithm taking real people's (although commercialized- whether originally or through the re-production process) art and spitting out imagery that is meant to look like it, a bit disappointing, i hope they listen to the criticism their comments are giving, because their comments are genuinely reasonable and nice, so id hope it doesnt fall on deaf ears
This might be my favorite unplanned battle so far! The boys and Kush messing around will never not be funny🤣 Also I'd love see you guys make a video (maybe a battle??) with the Ed, Izzy and the rest of the camera crew!

As a subscriber to Sidekick, and as someone who has promoted it to others in the past... I need you to hear this: stop using AI art.
People who are furious at Sorted for, purportedly, using AI art are really missing the forest for the trees. Instead of obsessing over symptoms, it'll be more worthwhile to direct our attention to the root cause - the lack of preparedness and adaptability in a changing technological and social landscape.
Going around villifying individuals who are using Generative AI on a small scale to make their lives a little more convenient is a futile exercise. It's like how some "urbanists" love to blame car drivers for city sprawl and bad public transport instead of working to foster political will against irresponsible city planning. Or, instead of getting involved into their local politics, working to spread awareness and galvanizing civil society to put pressure on governments to institute more welfare measures and improve social security, people will just sit at their keyboards, push all the blame for socio-economic inequities and weak economic mobility onto private property and personal wealth and call for communist revolutions with zero appreciation for the fact that oppressive and authoritarian structures are indispensable if a communist society is to last. What's happening in all these instances is akin to trying to fight an epidemic by killing the infected instead of attacking the infection.
AI is not the enemy. This is not the first time that technological progress threatens to be disruptive and creates the potential for economic upheaval. This time is not unlike when we built machines to till the soil, draw water, grind our grain, move heavy loads, do our calculations and even, build themselves. Each technological leap has brought about big changes in labour and income patterns and came fraught with employment anxieties for many people. And yet, once we got over the tough transition phase and reached a new equilibrium, technological growth, has more often than not, made an improved standard of living accessible to more people than before.
What we need to understand, as people who hold the power to shape the society we will live in tomorrow, is that technological progress is desirable. However, we need to make the transition phase as painless as possible.
The solution is not, therefore, to hunt down every single person who relies on AI for some tasks instead of paying a human to do it, and name and shame them. Instead, what we need to do is to create political awareness about the social and economic consequences of a rapid and reckless transition and lobby our governments to provide adequate safety nets for people who may become displaced during this new phase of automation and to institute measures to help them remain viable in a shifting market.
Also, what we need is to bind the tech industry within ethical frameworks to ensure that their products and procedures do not threaten the health, safety and fundamental rights of people. We need to regulate tech the way we have done with medicine, manufacturing, transport networks and other industries. There needs to legislation and administrative infrastructure to ensure that products of the tech industry must meet certain ethical standards and prove themselves to not be in violation of human interests, before they are allowed to enter the market.
These are the areas where the discourse needs to be focused on, both in politics and in civil society, instead of wasting time with self-righteous witch-hunts against individuals exploring the possibilities of a new technology. A lot of academic work is also needed across multiple disciplines like law, economics, sociology, political science, computer science as well as philosophy to help us build a knowledge base that can inform both responsible public opinion as well as effective legislation.
If you really want to do something, think about how you can contribute as a citizen as well as a student/professional to building responsive and resilient systems that can address the social, economic or environmental challenges of AI integration. Moral grandstanding achieves nothing and often does more harm than good. Even if you or I made a personal choice to steer clear generative AI, it wouldn't make much difference. It's about as effective in the grand scheme of things as giving up meat or plastic straws is for global warming. On top of that, if we also went about bullying people for not going vegan or choosing a single use plastic over a more sustainable alternative or asking AI to draw them a picture, then we are the ones who are being selfish and inconsiderate.
Jamie’s giggles of glee made this episode one of your best
I cracked up at "(Jamie gurgles)" @9:04 🤣 Thank you, subtitles
Nori, and springroll wrapping on the out side,
Sausage, steak, pickles, patte, sauce and blood pudding.
This just a fat deep fried bibimbap. With seemingly random ingredients, but still a bibimbap structure
I will say I really hope you guys don't use AI generated art in these videos in the future.
It looks awful, and if they don't want to do it themselves anymore, they could hire an artist :/
what art are you talking about?
The art when they were talking about their recipes@@idoshulman6379
@@idoshulman63791:10 and 2:20
@@idoshulman63792:15 is very very clearly AI “art” and it looks awful, the character they’re old drawings had was so much better
Jamie holding that like a baby is the reason I keep coming back to these videos, Jamie ... don't EVER change, you are beautiful
Jamie made ban mee spring role burrito.
R.I.P Jamie. You will be remembered
There are SO many professional chefs that NEVER make the noises Jamie made in this episode. He TRULY loves what he does and I absolutely am here for it always! :)
Kinda disappointing to see the use of AI art in the new videos knowing they could easily afford to pay a real artist instead of using programs that take from artists without permission.
it doesnt as good ether. you can always tell it's ai
About the copyright issue, it's still a grey area where legal precedent is lacking. Currently, you can argue convincingly that generative AI art should be classified as a derivative work and thus, if produced without first obtaining a licence from the copyright holder, it should be deemed content theft.
But, you can make an equally strong case for generative AI to be considered an original work that has, simply, been influenced by older works it used as reference materials. Influences, archetypes and design ideas can't be copyrighted. Copyright protects the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. Referencing a copyrighted work, alone, shouldn't necessarily be considered infringement.
Jamie giggling while cutting his creation into discs was the best haha
Jamie's giggles made me laugh so much 😂
I love y'all's chaotic energy. Y'all are the best.
The mock up illustrations you show at 0:59 and 2:14, are they AI generated?? If they are, I think we'd all prefer you to pay actual artists to make the illustrations instead 😔
Unquestioningly they are AI art.
Why does it matter?
Agreed, I hope the sorted team takes notice of this. I would love to see them support actual artists for illustrations of the like.
Kush's chaotic energy is off the charts! Throwing baguettes at people! Eating Jamie's food!
the use of ai art on a channel dedicated to the craft and love of the process of cooking is disappointing to me. its disrespectful to the artists worldwide who put time, care and passion into their art - to disrespect their time, effort and dedication on a channel dedicated to fostering those same feelings in the home cook is disappointing. i love this channel, and would love it if you guys chose to support artists in this time when their life's work is being devalued and stolen to create these image generating models; having no art would be vastly preferable to this, even.
I must have missed that, where's the AI art?
@@cascharles3838 0:59 and 2:18
Where's the AI?
Couple of ideas, the no heat battle, make them use techniques like quick cures and pickels, cooking time limited pass it on, have a timer with say 10 minutes on the clock and that's all the combined cooking time they have (preheating pans not included) and a "U turn/tangent" challenge, have them start cooking a dish theme or cuisine, then half way through throw them the curveball of completely changing the theme/style, could even work in a pass it on, have each person spin a wheel at the beginning of their turn to pick a random cuisine for the finished dish and see where it ends up!
Really enjoyed the video, and just wanted to echo the discomfort expressed by other comments about the use of AI generated images. As a channel with creativity at it’s heart it would be great to see you guys promoting real human artists; perhaps commissioning different smaller artists from within the community for different videos could be a nice form of collaboration?
6:10 - The power of that steak really heightened Jamie's reflexes!
Hate the new, almost certainly AI-generated images of the dishes which barely reflect the final product that'll be put on the plate and just look dreadful and grotesque.
"And after he stopped laughing..."
In case you were wondering when i lost my bearing and laughed so much that after I'd stopped I had to rewind a bit
I'm an artist for a living and I'd literally rather do paintings for you for free than see that soulless AI art again hahaha
I love the crew comments form behind the camera. Gives me a chuckle every time.
On top of being outright theft from actual artist, the AI Art really took away from the overall feel of the video. Hand drawn art adds so much more personality! Plus it feels very against Sorted's ethical mission.
I just wanted to echo the sentiments of the other commenters so that this will hopefully be taken seriously in future videos.
I'd love to see an Unplanned: One Pot Battle, Dessert Battle, Romantic Dinner Battle and Chicken Battle.
hey, i like the video but please don't use the ai for the illustrations of the food, it's distracting and is worse than no illustrations at all. i understand if you are too busy or there are some budget constraints limiting the illustrations but please just include no images if you need to.
Jamie laughing like a giddy mad scientist made my whole day! I love these guys so much!
Please don't use AI art. If you're not using AI art, please don't use terrible art that looks like it's AI.
Thank you!
Honestly Jamie's excitement throughout this episode was amazing.
Those AI generated drawings are just... so gross looking. Just really unappetizing and they just lack character. I hope their inclusion is a temporary one
Jamies enthusiasm for everything in this epsiode is superb 😅😍
I love you guys but I think using AI for the previews of the dishes is kinda annoying - you could pay an artist to make an actual artist's rendition of the dish, which would probably look less faintly horrific! I just think there are artists out there that would appreciate the work, and the process of making a described dish come to life.
Well said, Also if they dont have the budget to pay artists a fair wage- the lack of the image is just fine too.....
Jamie is really being a mad scientist in the kitchen.
4:18 Corporate Stock Photo coded
it is AI generated so yeah, it is an algorithm taking real people's (although commercialized- whether originally or through the re-production process) art and spitting out imagery that is meant to look like it, a bit disappointing, i hope they listen to the criticism their comments are giving, because their comments are genuinely reasonable and nice, so id hope it doesnt fall on deaf ears
My favorite Sorted videos are the ones where you guys just seem to be having a great time with it from start to finish.
NO to the AI art of the dishes! It's unnecessary & contributes to the ongoing worsening of AI's unwanted presence in creative spaces.
This might be my favorite unplanned battle so far! The boys and Kush messing around will never not be funny🤣
Also I'd love see you guys make a video (maybe a battle??) with the Ed, Izzy and the rest of the camera crew!
