AI Content Disclosure

What ForkScore generates with AI

• Recipes extracted from URLs / videos. When you submit a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or other URL, we send the transcript and publicly available metadata to a large language model (currently Anthropic Claude) and use its output to construct a structured recipe (ingredients, steps, nutrition estimates).
• Original recipes generated from prompts. When you ask ForkScore to generate a recipe (e.g., from ingredients you have), the model produces a new recipe based on your input. These are not human-tested.
• Food images. When a recipe lacks a photograph, ForkScore may generate a stylized food image with an image- generation model (currently Replicate / Flux). The image is an artistic representation; it is not a photograph of a real cooked dish.
• ForkScore quality scores. The 1–100 ForkScore rating is computed by our proprietary algorithm using both deterministic signals (ingredient categorization, time, technique) and AI-derived signals (comment-sentiment analysis). The score is an opinion, not a measurement.

Why we disclose this

AI-generated content can be wrong in ways that look right. We disclose because:

• You should not rely on AI-extracted ingredient quantities for allergen avoidance, dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or food-safety-critical decisions without independently verifying the source.
• AI-generated images do not reflect what your dish will actually look like. They are decorative.
• Comment-sentiment analysis, even when accurate in aggregate, cannot substitute for the original cook's judgment about whether a recipe will work for you.
• Several jurisdictions require AI disclosure for consumer-facing applications (e.g., California SB 942, EU AI Act provisions applicable to general-purpose models). This page is one of the ways we comply.

Food safety

ForkScore is not medical, nutritional, or food-safety advice. If you have allergies, dietary restrictions, are pregnant, are caring for someone with health conditions, or are otherwise dependent on accurate ingredient information, verify recipes against authoritative sources before cooking. Always observe safe internal temperatures for meat, fish, and eggs as published by your national food safety authority (e.g., USDA in the U.S., FSA in the U.K.).

How AI processes your data

We send the URL you submit and content publicly available at that URL to our AI providers. We do not send your name, email address, or other personal account information as part of recipe extraction requests. AI providers may retain prompts and outputs subject to their own retention and security policies; review their published terms for current details:

• Anthropic (Claude): anthropic.com/legal
• Replicate (Flux image model): replicate.com/terms

Reporting AI errors

If a generated recipe contains a serious error (a dangerous ingredient quantity, an instruction that could cause harm, mis-attribution to a creator, or apparent copyright concerns), email us at support@forkscore.ai. We act on reports of safety issues with priority.
