That's not a positive thing, good recipe developers are Rare. For every recipe that's been meticulously tested and documented there are 1000 that haven't been. Many cookbooks are riddled with errors.

Sure, but most recipe books are just copies of other good recipe books. There are only so many ways to bake cookies.

I've always been a pretty good cook, but I've been able to pull off some really cool stuff with the help of ChatGPT lately. It is probably just an incremental lift, and I still catch it making errors from time to time, but it has been a huge help in the kitchen.

Come on now how bad could it be? Wisdom of crowds and all that...
