Beware of AI Articles
I was looking up how long to wait between uses of my newly made plaster slip cast mold when I found an article that looked good until it switched to talking about living mold.

Pretty clear this was written with AI and not checked by human.
AI is a useful tool, the problem is that there are tools that use those tools badly and care more about the quick article than the fact that they might be causing others great expense as they follow bad advice.
There have always been books and articles with bad information. Now it is even easier for someone to generate an article that they know nothing about.
Bad data is not new. If you find a health food book from the seventies, my advice would be to pitch it. Veggies are wonderful and generally easy to prepare. It was pretty clear back then that the authors of Vegetarian cookbooks either hated vegetarians, themselves, or taking the time to test a recipe before printing it.

It's weird when AI is obvious. Yesterday, I came across an article purporting to explain the social problems behind airplane passenger aggression. It was accompanied by an illustration with two women attacking each other (in low-cut tops, of course) with some strange extra hand parts, or something.
I do have some classic vegetarian cookbooks from the 1970s (like the Vegetarian Epicure books) I like, and Moosewood(s). But I'm sure you're right that there are some bad ones.
