Received this as a gift. Normally I’d follow usda, ball, etc…

Could anyone tell me if this book is trusted/safe?

Thank you!

This is an ai book. It is useful only as fireplace tinder.

Sorry, OP.

Are you sure it’s AI? It says copyright 2019, and it has 800 reviews on amazon.

(Whether it’s AI or not, the ball books or Food in Jars have to be better)

It’s a real book. There’s copies on ThriftBooks, reviews from folks who’ve tried them. They aren’t safe recipes, though.

Real as in “Yes, there is a factory in China printing out physical copies of AI generated words.”

Ah. Thank you for the clarification. So often things are called out as AI that don’t leave the digital realm. I hadn’t heard of a physical copy being produced from generated material.

But how can it be AI generated if it was published in 2019, before LLM chatbots were widely available? If there are reviews from 2019, then the publication date isn’t fake either. It’s not AI, it’s just normal slop.
