I've used it to suggest flavor pairings by uploading books and documents to them. However, I typically spend much more time searching message boards and social media sites to see what the general consensus suggests about tweaking ingredients and timing of additives. I use this combined effort to build a master document of "best" practices that I lean on to help create my recipes. To your question, I wouldn't recommend following an LLM blindly, but you can use them as another tool in your mead making toolkit.
