Introduction
The cook works off of some version of what's already out there, a recipe of some kind, a meal she tried and liked, a dish she watched someone else make. On a typical day, a cook and a chef don't operate that differently. Even the chef becomes quickly exhausted by the mental energy required for first principles reasoning and usually doing so isn't worth his time. Both types of people spend an average day with their brain software running on autopilot and their conscious decision-making centers dormant, but then comes a day when something new needs to be figured out. Whatever this new situation is, autopilot won't suffice. This is something new and neither the chef nor the cook software has done this before, which leaves only two options: create or copy. Let's say the cook is thinking of starting a business and wants to know what the possibilities are. Conventional wisdom has him covered. He types the command into the interface, waits a few minutes, and then the system pumps out its answers."
