I've found it to be pretty unimaginative, yes! :) It often suggests organ meats to me or omelettes with dark leafy greens.
You know how there's the checkbox to exclude "My recipes" from the Oracles suggestions? I was debating making a recipe to act as one catch-all for all the foods that I don't like or can't tolerate and then tell the Oracle "exclude nuts, shellfish [I have allergies to those] and My Recipes" and see what it suggests. I find it frustrating that there's no "globally forget" option for the Oracle, so the other day I thought of the "My Recipes" as a hack to exclude foods that I don't like from the Oracle (but I haven't yet had a chance to implement this / try this out).
I fully agree that the Oracle is the most rudimentary 'suggestion robot' out there. (I can't even bring myself to call it a recommender system.) I wish that I could overweight some ingredients moreso than others: if I'm short on Mg AND selenium and only have 200 cal left in my day make sure I get the selenium, Oracle! Or over- or underweight, say, protein over total calories or something. With a little bit of rudimentary ML the Cronometer folks could make the Oracle tremendously useful, but I am unsure as to why they don't do this? Lack of expertise in recsys? Cronometer folks, if you want assistance in this space I'd be happy to help; just tell me what email address to email you at and we can chat.
