The NYT Cooking app is testing AI recipe modifications

The New York Times is testing an AI feature in its Cooking app that can recommend ingredient and equipment substitutions, scale recipes to any number of servings, and adapt recipes to different pans and tools, with customized recipes kept private and unshareable. The feature is available to all Cooking subscribers on iOS and will roll out more broadly soon, and some readers have pushed back over environmental and user-experience concerns, with senior editor Genevieve Ko saying there is no way to disable it at this time. A NYT spokesperson told The Verge that closing comments on the announcement post after four days is standard practice.
