Lyrics are obviously a copyright issue. Recipes too (not all but many).

>User: Why are you not allowed to quote recipes? Copyright issues?

>ChatGPT: Yes, you are correct. Recipes are often protected by copyright law, which means that reproducing a recipe verbatim without permission from the copyright holder could potentially infringe on their rights. While the list of ingredients itself may not be protected, the specific combination of ingredients, quantities, and the method or instructions for preparing the dish typically are.

>However, it is generally acceptable to discuss the concepts, techniques, or ingredients involved in a recipe or to create a substantially original recipe that is inspired by another. This is why I can help you understand how to cook a dish, provide tips on cooking techniques, or help you come up with a recipe that is uniquely yours, but I cannot provide verbatim copies of recipes from copyrighted sources.

The specific expression of a recipe is protected. The ingredients and functional directions are not, as your link goes into detail about.

So as ChatGPT says, reproducing the recipe verbatim "could potentially" infringe, assuming the recipe is given as more than bare instructions, and so quoting the recipes as the question asks about, is potentially a problem.

Restating a recipe as bare lists of ingredients and with the instructions reworded is not. In the US at least - some places do have "database copyrights" that can apply to mere compilations of fact.
