People Inc., which owns Food & Wine and Southern Living, is blocking AI training on its content and pushing back against machine-generated recipes flooding search results and social platforms.

The fight matters because People Inc. has both the legal leverage and distribution power to resist commodification, rather than negotiate licensing deals like most publishers have done.
