"Following recipes via Google's notoriously error-prone, AI-generated summaries is definitely a bad idea. According to Bloomberg, the summaries are telling home cooks to bake Christmas cakes for three to four hours, potentially turning them into a chunk of charcoal. Cookie recipes end up like cloying lumps of sugar. Even entire AI-generated recipe sites being listed on Google are sending home cooks down the wrong path."
"None of this should be particularly surprising. After all, large language models lack any form of human intuition and are simply rehashing and paraphrasing existing content they were trained on, no matter how hard AI companies try to distract us from that reality. The tech also lacks the ability to actually test a recipe in the real world, making it a notably terrible source for cooking advice."
AI-generated recipe summaries and sites often provide incorrect cooking times and ingredient guidance, producing inedible or unsafe results. Food bloggers and independent recipe developers report that AI-created "recipe slop" is overwhelming reliable sources, damaging their visibility and livelihoods. Search engines and social platforms can surface these AI summaries as quick overviews or standalone recipe pages, steering users away from tested, vetted recipes. Large language models lack human intuition and cannot physically test recipes, which leads to misleading instructions. Platform features labeled as starting points can still displace authoritative content and negatively affect both cooks and creators.
