You know, if those AI recipe pages don’t have millions of kilometers of backstory to scroll through before you get to the actual recipe written comprehensively, I can at least understand it a little bit. So I hope none of the food bloggers who did that are complaining, because you drove people to this.
Aside from that, damn, I hope it is easy to spot if something is AI in terms of recipes. Guess it is time to buy some old cookbooks to be sure.
SEO started killing the internet long before the genAI wave yeah. I was also always a bit mad at the concept in general. Surely search engine optimization is something for… search engines, not websites? I hate that we ended up changing the way we create websites in order to appease The Machine, instead of it getting better at surfacing quality content

Some food bloggers understand this and have a button to take you straight to the recipe. So many don’t, though.
I just want a recipe for peanut butter cookies, not a web novel, Jan. If I want a story with the recipe, I’ll go watch “Good Eats.”
Search engine algorithms drove people to write stories before recipes, unfortunately. Pages that just had recipes were deprioritized

In theory, Google should fight all attempts at SEO.
But they infamously stopped doing that to bump some quarterly result (as sifting through them generates more clicks), and here we are.
