I use AI tools for certain tasks. But there are other tasks I would never use them for. Bloomberg News has an article on how AI-generated recipes are taking over<\/a> both the web and social media. And it’s not going well, neither for the food bloggers, nor for the people trying to use AI-generated recipes. They interview Eb Gargano, who writes the Easy Peasy Foodie<\/a> blog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Instead of sending home cooks to her decade-old, well-tested recipes, Google increasingly inserts AI-generated summaries stitched together from bits of her work and others\u2019 that often get the basics wrong. An AI-assembled version of Gargano\u2019s Christmas cake, for instance, would have people cooking a 6-inch cake for 3 to 4 hours at 320\u00b0F (160\u00b0C). ‘You\u2019d end up with charcoal!’ she said. Meanwhile, traffic to her turkey recipe is already down 40% year over year….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All of this, food bloggers say, erodes the simple promise of a recipe: that someone has actually cooked it before you have. To Gargano, this is the core issue. \u2018No matter how clever the AI is,\u2019 she said in a recent interview, \u2018it can never actually test a recipe in a real kitchen and see how it works.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
