Hey everyone,
I have noticed that some recipes on the internet make no sense and have my suspicions that they may be AI slop. The ratios are off, the cook time is unlikely, the illustration is AI made… But it’s hard. And it will likely be getting harder to identify AI generated recipes in the future.
It’s come to the point that I have a hard time trusting a recipe witten after the AI craze started (let’s call it 2025). I’m so suspicious of everything, my go-to “authenticity” check is to not bother with recipes that have recent publication dates. But this isn’t exactly fair nor fool proof.
Do you have tips on how to spot an AI generated recipe?
Internet is amazing, you can find many recipes, but as AI comes in, some ways to find legit recipes that won’t burn your house or make something disgusting, are recipe books, YouTube and cooking channels on TV.
Also, consider asking friends and neighbors. You can find tips and lost traditional recipes.
Here where I live, I watch and read specific well known chef’s in my country. I also watch food network Italia, their channel has Italians cooking, with some amazing recipes. Nothing similar to the USA one.
