I wrote a comedic "Best Apache Chef recipe" article[1] mocking these sites.

I guess the concern would be: If one of these recipe websites _was_ generated by an AI, the ingredients _look_ correct to an AI but are otherwise wrong - then what do you do? Baking soda swapped with baking powder. Tablespoons instead of teaspoons. Add 2tbsp of flower to the caramel macchiato. Whoops! Meant sugar.

I don't know. If we have something like imagen or dalle, I can imagine something that can produce "tasty" food from random ingredients isn't far off.

Then we will still need humans in the loop to do the cherry picking/supervised learning. Gibberish recipes need to be flagged and interesting new creations need to be promoted. The input can be fed back into the model till the model contains accurate representations of the chemical reactions of cooking ingredients and the neuronal wiring of the human olfactory system.

Seeing this a lot on youtube also. Scripts pulling in "news" from a source as a script for a robo voice combined with "related" images stitched together randomly.

Even though it's not AI, this is already happening with a lot of content farms. There was a good video a couple years ago from Ann Reason of "How to Cook That" that basically pointed out how the visually-appealing-but-not-actually-feasible "hands and pans" content farms (So Tasty, 5 Minute Crafts, etc.) were killing genuine baking channels.

Imagine that instead of having cheap labor from Southeast Asia churn out these videos, that instead they are just spit out as fast as possible using AI.

The future digital landscape might be void of humanity, but there will still be real humans living next door to you ;)

The only interaction with people now is installing bark detector automatic dog whistles for our neighbors dogs and ring doorbells.

I see the opposite future.

As AI advances, a lot of people will look after experiencing life outside the digital world.

Even digital communication will not be trustworthy anymore with deepfaces and everything else, so people will want to get together more often.

Edit: for the lazy ones, yeah, digital will be a sad and heartless environment...

This is my theory as well. There'll be a short period where some of us at the forefront will enrich themselves by flooding the internet with imagery never seen before. That'll be a bubble where people think "abundance" has been solved but then it'll pop as people start to not trust anything they see online anymore and as you say, only trust and interact with things in the real world (wouldn't surpise me if regulation got involved here too somehow).

Doesn't it increases the value of genuine human-produced content? Or their NFTs!

For the very skilled yes. But a lot of low skilled artists of content creators will have the rugs pulled out from under them. (And how will we ever get high skilled artists trained in the future if they can't make a living from their lower tier output before they reach mastery.)

Considering how many of the readers of said blog will be scrapers and bots, who will use the results to generate more spammy "content", I think you are right.

I’d much rather skip the blog format and replace them with an AI that can answer “Please provide a pie recipe like my grandparent’s”, or “I’d like to make these ribs on the BBQ so that they come out flavourful, soft, and a little sweet.”

I can see a past where this already happened, to paraphrase Douglas Adams ;)
