We just won't get countless recipe websites where you have to scroll, scroll, scroll through slop about someone's day to read a scraped recipe that every other website has.

This is just disruption.

Does the current Google search results indicate that they will be any different?

It’s also not disruption if your product relies on the output of the industry it kills. What will AI train on when it destroys the economics of sharing information with others?

I disagree, Google doesn't rely on a massive amount of recipe websites; they rely on Google and exploit it.

More importantly: These recipes exist from many sources, not just the website that exploited Google to be first in their rankings.

From the HN guidelines: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

In this instance, the internet is more than top-ranking recipe websites.

"Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes."
