I Used NYT Cooking’s New AI-Powered Recipe Modifier, and It’s Actually Pretty Good

I am not among the multitudes in the Cooking section's commenter army, but a few days later I was very surprised to see some of them in open revolt. I was even more surprised to see why: In an iOS-only beta, the Times is now using AI to allow subscribers to modify recipes.

Below the article announcing the change on October 23, commenters loudly aired their grievances, threatening to cancel subscriptions, asking who wanted this, and how to turn it off.

After four days and 172 almost exclusively angry comments, commenting for the story was turned off.

4 million subscribers.
