“THIS IS F***ING AI SLOP!”
That’s how one reviewer on Goodreads recently described a children's cookbook generated with AI assistance. They fumed:
“There are pictures of food in here but none of them are real… The recipes are not well-organized… I’ve seen the same shit in his ‘Asian cookbook.’”
You’d think the author had personally stolen their grandmother’s rolling pin. And it would be funny — if it weren’t such a revealing symptom of something deeper. Because while Americans rage against pixel-perfect dumplings and typo-free ingredient lists, a very different storm is brewing across the Pacific.
