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?


If I’m searching for it, I limit searches to before 2024.
If I’m browsing a recipe site, I ignore recipes posted after 2024.
Im sure I’m missing a lot of good stuff, but I don’t always know enough about cooking to know just by looking at the recipe that it doesn’t work.
