The NYT Cooking app is testing AI recipe modifications

The New York Times' NYT Cooking app is testing an AI feature that allows users to modify recipes by suggesting substitutions for ingredients and cooking equipment, scaling recipes, and adjusting cooking steps. The feature is currently available to all Cooking subscribers on the iOS app, with a broader rollout planned. Some users have expressed concerns about the environmental impact of AI adoption and the impact on the user experience, and a few have expressed disappointment that the feature is not optional.
