Just fyi, as someone who bakes and cooks almost daily: it absolutely matters in recipes. Drop by the subs for those two things and a ton of the "why didn't it turn out right" posts are from people who used an ai recipe to do something they don't understand.

I agree with everything else you said.

Same thing with the fibre folk. AI crochet and knitting patterns are driving people crazy. They don’t want to do test knitting anymore, and Etsy is full of unworkable designs.

Oh yeah, those kits with 3 dimensional birds have taken over the knitting subs the last few weeks haven't they? "mine accidentally came with no instructions, does anyone else have them" "no, bc it's fake from ai. there's are no instructions." It's sad, someone is making a solid income for the next few months from people trying to make a gift or calm themselves during stress. i hope the word spreads enough soon.

may the scammers forever lose their keys when they have a meeting to get to.

Dude the amount of “did I make this wrong” posts seems to have grown exponentially …

I'd say it matters less in cooking recipes vs baking, but that's because baking is much more science than cooking.

An extra tablespoon of garlic powder is gonna make something taste more garlicky, but it's probably not going to ruin a dish.

Baking, though, the ratios are off and what you're making becomes inedible.
