Can you create low carb meals that taste delicious?

Please read the following information carefully before proceeding.

Why we are doing this research: We are trying to understand how to design Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can help people in decision-making.

What you will have to do: You will be presented with a set of pictures of plates of food. We’ll provide you with the list of ingredients on each plate. Your task is to reduce the carbohydrate content of the presented meal by replacing one of its ingredients. The replacement you choose should also be similar in flavor to the original ingredient. Therefore, your job is to find an optimal replacement that both reduces the carbohydrate content and retains the original flavor of the meal as much as possible. In some of the questions, an AI system that will recognize the ingredients and will present its recommendations for optimal replacements. You will also fill out a questionnaire at the beginning and end of the experiment.

What you will get out of it? We will give you feedback on how well you decided which ingredients to replace and how you compare to others. The studies on this website are not for clinical diagnosis.

Potential risks: There are no risks anticipated in taking part in this study and you are free to leave at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

Privacy: Your responses will be kept anonymous. We do not collect any information that could be used to directly establish your identity.

Duration: Approximately 15 minutes.

Overall, your answers matched those of the experts for out of the 24 meals.

On average, you reduced carbs of meals by % and your replacements shared on average % of the flavor molecules of the replaced ingredient.


For the same meals, our experts reduced carbs of meals by % and their replacements shared on average % of the flavor molecules of the replaced ingredient.


Other people, who took the same test, reduced carbs of meals by % and their replacements shared on average % of the flavor molecules of the replaced ingredient. Their answers matched those of the experts % of the time.
