Imo, this is not just a vibe coders problem. It's been a classic builders mindset issue, where many start with building and look to find problem to the solution.

To be fair the author of this did found two massively successful businesses so I imagine he does understand tackling a business problem.
My argument is: the problem is solved. The solution is called: books containing real recipes.
The "problem" people have is: yeah, I want those, but for free. But creating a cooking book is a ton of work and very expensive. You need to first find good, original recipes. Then you need to actually cook each of them to see if they are any good, at least once, sometimes several times to perfect the recipe. And unless you are a photographer as a side-hustle, you need to do this again and hire a professional to make good-looking photos of the result.
Printing the books is also expensive. Good cooking books need to have very good binding so that they can be flattened to show one page for a long time without disintegrating. The paper must be thick and the printing must be able to withstand stains and moisture without becoming unreadable.
