"We started seeing a new AI Mode recipe widget to get users to click over even on branded SERPs. In AI Mode we are still seeing full Frankenstein recipes riddled with errors as default, now with more of our photos and videos. We have not given permission for our content to be used like this and the citations are a complete mess."
"Our domain recipe page is never cited, only third party sites (not like that would fix the issue). If any other site did this it would be considered scaled content abuse."
Google is testing a new AI Mode recipe widget within search results that directs users away from traditional search results and recipe cards into AI Mode, where AI-generated recipes are displayed. These AI-generated recipes contain significant errors and are described as "Frankenstein recipes." Content creators report that their photos and videos are being used without permission in these AI-generated recipes, with citations pointing to third-party sites rather than original sources. The citation system is reportedly broken, and the overall quality and accuracy of the AI-generated content is poor. This practice raises concerns about scaled content abuse and unauthorized use of creator materials.
