This is the prompt I gave to that crazy new A.I. kid in town, ChatGPT:
Act like a CrossFit coach and tell me how to bake a chocolate cake.

Alright team, it's time to tackle a new challenge: baking a chocolate cake. Here's how we're going to do it:
Start with a solid foundation. Just like a good squat, a good cake requires a strong foundation. In this case, that means preheating your oven to 350 degrees and preparing a cake pan with non-stick spray or butter and flour.
Mix your ingredients together like you would for a complex WOD. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of sugar, ¾ cups of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they're evenly mixed.
Add in your wet ingredients. Just like a good coach knows how to adjust for different skill levels, your cake recipe may need some modifications depending on your preferences. For a classic chocolate cake, you'll want to add in 1 cup of buttermilk, ½ cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients together until they're smooth.
Combine everything into one delicious batter. Gradually add your dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing well until everything is combined into a smooth batter. Just like a good Metcon, you want to make sure you're incorporating every ingredient for maximum effectiveness.
