The NYT Cooking app is testing AI recipe modifications

The New York Times is testing a new AI feature for its Cooking app that helps users modify recipes, such as recommending ingredient substitutions, scaling servings, and adapting to different cookware. The feature is currently available to all Cooking subscribers on the iOS app and will be more broadly released soon. Some users have pushed back, citing concerns about AI's environmental impact and its effect on user experience. When asked if the feature could be disabled, a senior editor said no, though it is optional to use. The NYT has used AI in the app before, for measurement conversions and serving size adjustments. Comments on the announcement post were closed after four days, which the NYT says is standard practice.
