"We covered how horrific the AI-based Frankenstein recipes can be in Google Search, where it mashes up recipe steps from various publishers and acts like it is a real recipe from a source. Well, Bing had something similar but Jordi Ribas from Microsoft said they are "unshipping" the feature after the feedback was received. Jordi Ribas, Microsoft CVP, Head of Search at Microsoft, wrote on X,"
"This is in response to the folks at Inspired Taste writing, "We are still waiting for the completely made up Bing ingredient substitutions on recipe cards to be removed or have a warning added saying that these aren't our suggestions. We would not recommend substituting ginger with mace in pho. Or any of these suggestions really." Here is a screenshot of this from a few days ago: It is nice to see Microsoft Bing listen to feedback and make changes so quickly."
AI-driven recipe features produced incorrect ingredient substitutions and mashed up steps from multiple publishers, creating misleading or unsafe recipe guidance. Inspired Taste reported completely made-up Bing ingredient substitutions on recipe cards and warned that substitutions such as replacing ginger with mace in pho are inappropriate. Jordi Ribas, Microsoft CVP and Head of Search, posted on X that Microsoft has been unshipping the feature over the last few weeks and asked to be notified if any occurrences remain. A screenshot documented the erroneous substitutions and misattribution. Microsoft removed the feature quickly following publisher feedback, showing rapid response to content-quality concerns.
