I've created this help to help individuals & family get recipes ideas from ingredients they already have at home - no need to make extra groceries

The mission is to help those users eat better (whole food), reduce waste of ingredients they already have, and make savings by cooking more at home

And here's the thing: everytime a user generate a AI recipe based on his own ingredients, it publish online the recipe.

They are around 50 recipes published everyday and indexed on google. Soon enough, I believe this app will be the largest directory of recipes, and all automated

The “Skip the store” link doesn’t work for me, so fortunately for you I couldn’t enter the ingredients

  Fillet of a fenny snake,
  eye of newt,
  toe of frog,
  wool of bat,
  tongue of dog,
  adder's fork,
  blind-worm's sting,
  lizard's leg,
  howlet's wing,

In other words: how are you going to prevent vandals from trying to get silly recipes online? Also, how do you know your AI doesn’t generate unhealthy, possibly even lethal recipes?

I haven’t tried this app, but I think that risk is real. For example, if I take an existing mushroom recipe and give you app the ingredients, with the mushroom replaced by a poisonous one, I think LLMs would happily create a recipe.

Sounds like exactly what everyone does not want from AI - publishing content created by users as its own, with no validation or curation of quality.

I would counter argue that:

1. AI generated doesn't necessarily means no quality. Especially for food recipes, the results have been outstanding

2. Google push the pages that are considered quality by users, so if they are pushed it means it would provide quality content

		Do you cook by yourself? There's a point at what the preposter said: without curation or quality control. Cooking and taste-ing is more than just throwing ingredients together. Why are there so many recipes for the very same dish and why some of the recipes get liked and used, but others don't? It's the very same dish in the end. So, for your 1. Point, I call fake. You never know if the generated result is outstanding, when there's no quality control. Or no experienced curator who adjust the quantities of ingredients, for the dish to be more even more tasteful, or create variations of the recipes.. I think you get the idea, what I want to say. The 2. Point is more than "stupid". First of all, to rely on goog for visibility is a bad decision. Goog just have to alter its page rank algorithm, and you're out of listing. Also, pushed content doesn't mean quality content. You may see a back fire starting from users coming to your product, trying it out and not liking it. They won't come back anymore. Like me and the genius.com lyrics site - visited it a few times, now I know it's crap and do avoid it whenever possible. So, I think you do not cook by yourself :)
