You can ask both Bard and ChatGPT to give you a suggestion for a vegan restaurant and a recipe with calories and they both provide results. The only thing missing is the calories per item but who cares about that.
Most of the time it would be better to Google vegan restaurants and recipes because you want to see a selection of them not just one suggestion.
Maybe it was a poor example but you might be missing the point a little bit. By personalizing the prompt you can get potentially super high quality recommendations on filters that aren't even available in those apps. "I just dropped my kids off at soccer practice and I need something light and easy, what would Stanley Tucci order? give me an album and wine pairing and close the garage door"
What's to stop you from asking it to give you a list of recommendations to choose from, based on your current preferences? The idea is that you ask what you want and you get it, without clicking and manually solving a task like checking website X, website Y, website Z, comparing all the different options, etc. They just want to show the basics of what's going on with these plugins, and then you can expand on it however you want.
