I usually choose meals using the website, but since I upgraded my iPhone to a 17 Pro Max, I’ve been doing more and more on mobile—including managing my HF meals.
So I was exploring the mobile app and noticed the cookbook now allows users to add links to recipes that they found on the web.
As a test, I added three links to crazy meals I found on YouTube. Ai took the videos and transcribed the step by step instructions. It even created a grocery list.
I can see how this can be super convenient for me. I can plan the meals I want from HF and also plan my grocery shopping for meals I want to try from the interwebs. I plan to start using this feature.
But it also got me thinking. 🤔 Is this a way for HF to outsource new meal development to crowdsourcing instead of paying chefs to do it? Thoughts?

They can scrape internet recipes just like you can, so they don’t need that part from users. They might use it to see what kind of recipes the users want.
They’re already doing that, but scraping their own recipes
