Facebook is flooding with recipes created by him. I made one.

• The recipes created by him are appearing across Facebook-and real people are making them.
• Some people do not realize that they are making a plate from a recipe written by a robot.
• I had to try to make one myself, just to see how it would come out.

The recipes created by him are appearing across Facebook-circulating from pages that pump wild food images per hour.

Unlike the “Jesus Shrimp” of the slope generated by him, this food -centered substance flies under radar because it looks so much like an existing genre that is already on all social media: cheese -style pornography.

So while an image of an elderly woman standing next to a crochet is definitely false, no one will attract a recipe for a healthy week’s dinner.

I looked at some Facebook pages that are posting what seems to be recipes created by him with images created by him. (How would I have to doubt? Images had signs of storytelling, like tines disappear in a fork or strange -shaped fingers or twisted edges.)

What I saw most surprising: people are actually COOKING These recipes created by him. Sometimes, they are even enjoying the results.

So I had to get into the kitchen’s action myself. I made one of the salmon dishes – let’s call it “salmongt”.

A Family Facebook page pumps recipes every hour

I focused on Lora Chef, a Facebook page with more than 150,000 followers. One of the many similar recipe pages with some features of the Teltale that are spreading across the platform. Page profile photo features an attractive brunette woman. It is also connected to a website, which offers a recipe for a recipe newspaper.

The phone number on the Lora Chef Facebook page did not work when I tried many times over a few days. I sent the contact address listed by email and initially received an answer – “Hello, how can I help you?” – But the account did not respond to later electronic posts with my questions, like who was behind the page and to confirm that he was using. I also sent a direct message to Facebook and did not receive an answer. According to the “About” section of the site, its managers are located in Morocco and Turkey.

In theory, the images created by it are supposed to be labeled on the Meta platforms, but it is a complex task, and let us be honest: that chicken Parm will not destabilize democracy. Meta told about this policy and refused to comment further.

Lora Chef recently posted a new Facebook recipe about once an hour, which means there are hundreds, maybe thousands, recipes. (I gave up on the movement when I reached December, but the page was created in July 2024.)

The images all have a similar view. Specifically, almost all dishes have the same beige sauce that release food – usually from a spoon, fork, sticks or any other tools that only he could dream of. The sauce looks surprisingly similar in all dishes, but in their titles, recipes refer to it as a garlic sauce, white sauce, cream sauce, aioli diving sauce, etc. (Even sweets have the same sauce.)

The dishes look reasonably attractive, and many have comments from real people expressing things like “Yummy!” Or saying they would like to try it. Many usually, people label a friend in comments – maybe suggesting her to a spouse for dinner.

A food writer in Omaha, Nebraska, told me that the recipes and he was caught.

“I can see the interest people have in recipes, which display all fashion ingredients like cottage cheese – or showing a lot of protein, and all with very bright, attractive photos,” said Sarah Baker Hansen, who runs a website and writes for free press with flat non -profit water. “It looks designed for clicks, shares and comments.”

However, she said, when you look at the recipes on many different Facebook pages, “I think it’s very clear what posts are made up of computer and what are current recipes made by people, with pictures taken by people.”

These people actually cooked the recipes

In the comments on Chef Lora page for a vegetable and Tzatziki DIP, Lizzy Mimzy said the sauce ended enjoying exactly as a farm. When I talked to her, she said she had made some other dishes from the site, but I didn’t realize that it was. “I was wondering why the pictures looked like all the similar colors and textures,” she said.

Relevant stories

“Kinda generated by him removes from the true love people put on their food,” Mimzy said.

Jacq Dolittle commented that her boyfriend had made “grilled bowl and broccoli with creamy garlic sauce” – one of the most popular posts on the site, with more than 2,600 comments and 25,000 shares on Facebook. She told me it turned out a little strange, but still good. “I’ve heard that the recipes of it are always a little far away, lol,” she wrote.

The other dishes seemed to have some problems.

In a popular chicken recipe with Parmesan crime, some comments mentioned that the chicken had to be fried in the pan, not roasted, to achieve the type of brown crust in the image. One comment read: “I didn’t realize that this was generated by him until after I did it, and I am disappointed in myself. The sauce is not too bad except being with water, and the chicken itself tastes like nothing lol . “

I did salmon he with avocado cream and lime

I had to try one of these recipes for myself. I’m not a stranger to try the food suggested by he-joy made glue pizza in the sauce because Google’s answers suggested it.

From the chef Lora’s site, I chose a last salmon recipe with one – you thought it – white sauce because it looked relatively light, and I needed it easy because I’m a very bad cook.

The cream sauce called for a food processor that I was not completely happy to have to withdraw from the closet, but okay.

Salmon called for some spices on top and then pan-reddish oil. My husband, the family chef, noticed that canol oil would usually be preferred because of its highest drum. (Maybe this was a mistake of he.)

After all, I served it over rice, and it was … FINES. Somewhat strange, both fish and sauces. But I ate the food of him and lived.

He seems to be capable of generating acceptable recipes for ordinary dishes. This makes sense – there is much for the cooking that is repeated over and over, and the same steps tend to follow one another in the process. This is perfect for him.

But even though the generating one can do some skillful things, it does not always do things well. True recipe writing is nuanced and difficult work – chefs try every step and use their knowledge to avoid traps. For example, my salmon called for sesame seeds at the top (I bypassed them), but those seeds would probably have burned in the pan (though they would have been good for baked or roasted salmon). A human recipe writer would have intuitively recognized this.

At the extent of what the contents of him can do by him, Facebook, recipes are certainly not like political misinformation or a financial fraud.

But unlike other things created by him, which can simply promote a comment or “like” by a person who is suspected, there are actually people there who spend their evenings cooking and eating these recipes.
