In the AI era: what happens to 廚師/主廚
廚師和主廚面臨AI喜憂參半：自動化廚房設備可接管重複烹飪任務，降低人工成本，但菜單創新、食材調配和團隊管理等核心技能仍需人類，高階崗位反而因AI輔助而提升效率與創造力。

入門崗位（如廚房幫工、普通廚師）需求可能因自動化烹飪設備（如自動炒菜機、切菜機）而收窄，但高端餐廳和特色餐飲仍需要經過系統培訓的廚師，入門門檻並未顯著提高。
廚師可從執行者升級為創意總監或食品科技專家：學習AI輔助研發工具和數據分析，掌握智慧廚房系統管理，深耕分子料理或營養學，結合直播、短影音打造個人IP，或轉向餐飲諮詢、菜單設計等高階服務，從而在AI時代保持不可替代性。
