GoKawiilNYT Cooking rolls out AI recipe modifier in iOS beta amid subscriber backlash
The New York Times began testing an AI-powered tool that lets Cooking subscribers modify recipes, currently available only in an iOS beta. The announcement drew heavy criticism in the comments section, with readers threatening to cancel subscriptions and asking how to disable the feature; commenting was shut off after four days and 172 largely negative responses. A WIRED writer who tested the tool reported it worked better than expected despite skepticism about tech additions to cooking products.
