ChatGPT

 

ChatGPT is all the rage these days. For the uninitiated, ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations and much more with the chatbot. The language model can answer questions and assist you with tasks like composing emails, essays, and code.



So how much does ChatGPT “know” about The Patissier? We were curious and decided to put it to the test.

1. First off, we fired ChatGPT a direct question about The Patissier:
 



The response was pretty much accurate except for the bit on the founders. So, not bad.

2. Then we asked ChatGPT about our operating hours:


ChatGPT seemed to think that we operate at multiple locations. And the operational timing (10am - 8pm) was also inaccurate. Then again, there was a time when we did operate till 8pm. But this was some years ago.

3. We then asked ChatGPT about our products:
 

Now this was the one that it did poorly. Other than Strawberry Shortcake, the other cakes listed were hardly recognizable.

4. Next, we asked ChatGPT for information on The Patissier’s owners: 

This one generated the most chuckles. We have no clue who the two listed owners are. While ChatGPT has managed to discover that we used to operate in Taiwan (although this was fully owned by The Patissier and not a JV), we have never operated in Shanghai.

5. Moving on, we asked about the number of shops we have in Singapore: 

According to ChatGPT, we have THREE stores, two of which (#2 and #3) we ourselves do not know about.

6. Next, we were curious about what ChatGPT have on our customer service standards: 

And it seemed like whatever ChatGPT could derive about our service was quite positive.

7. We then wanted to know what ChatGPT had to say about our delivery service: 


The information was generally accurate. We were also rather impressed that it has picked up on our “relatively higher” delivery fee and the reason for this being so.

8. We then asked ChatGPT about our social media presence: 

Again, the information provided was pretty accurate, although we do not operate on Twitter.

9. Finally, we decided to throw ChatGPT a general question: 


All we can say is, ChatGPT has pretty good taste! 😆

So, what did our little experiment tell us about ChatGPT? We were rather impressed with the response generated. However, some of the facts remained flawed. As such, one should take the information with a pinch of salt. And especially with factual information. But with the rapid advancement in AI, we reckoned it would not be long before ChatGPT would get all its facts right. And hopefully when the day comes, The Patissier is still one of the best cake shop in Singapore… according to ChatGPT.

A New Chapter at 23!

  Come June 2nd, The Patissier is celebrating our 23rd anniversary. This milestone not only represents a fresh start as Singapore fully emerges from the dark shadows of Covid-19 but also marks a significant turning point as we prepare to embark on an exciting new chapter in our journey. With great anticipation and a touch of nostalgia, we will be moving from our current location of 18 years to a new home at 166 Tyrwhitt Road, set to take place at the end of June. This also signifies that 2023 will be the final anniversary that we will be marking at 4 Mohd Sultan Road. Over the past 23 years, The Patissier has become a beloved establishment, known for its exquisite cakes and unwavering commitment to quality. Our customers have journeyed with us, and have allowed us to partake in their moments of joy and celebration through our creations. The journey has been nothing short of incredible, and we are immensely grateful for the support and encouragements accorded to us. Saying goodbye t

The Big Move ...

    After spending almost 2 decades at our current location, we are finally moving out of Mohd Sultan Road. This is not an easy decision, especially when we have become quite the establishment where we are at. But with our lease coming to an end this year, we have been liaising with our landlord on renewal matters since 3 rd quarter of last year. And after almost 18 years and 5 lease renewals later, we did not expect the “take it or leave it” ultimatum that was handed down to us. To be fair, the relationship with our landlord has always been amicable for the past years. So the latest renewal negotiation (or the lack thereof) really took us by surprise. We always pay our rental on time and have been quite the model tenant. But we reckon they must have their rationale and well, it is what it is. This, coupled with leaking aircons and corroding pipes (as these fixtures predate the time when we first took over the unit), as well as our desire for a larger space (not an absolute need but m

Our new recipes

Customers have often asked us about how do we decide and come up with new cake flavors. Our chefs typically create between 2 to 3 new cake recipes every year. And this is excluding the new Christmas and CNY cakes. Not all of these cakes will eventually turn out to be winners though. A couple of our new recipes, the Laksa cake for example, are deemed a tad too exotic for the common palate. But many have become personal favorites and even made it onto our staple list. So, what are the typical considerations that go into the development of our new cake recipes? Foremost, we always attempt to do a flavor not done before. Our Mother’s Day cake in 2019, which we had incorporated ingredients such as birds’ nest and Chrysanthemum, is a prime example. Next, we wish to be able to excite and delight our loyal customers that have been supporting us for all these years. And finally, we like to create a flavor that customers of all ages are able to relate to. For this Mother’s Day, our chefs hav
