Sigh. The SET of commenters is not the SET of users.

> Are you trying to claim that the NYT site is getting brigaded by anti-AI advocates?

No, I made very clear what I was claiming: Commenters are statistically biased toward complaints. People without complaints are less likely to comment.

> Is the App Store publishing bogus complaints too?

Too? I said nothing about bogus complaints.

I don't want to insult you so I won't respond further.

P.S.

No, your claim was quite clear:

"Comments aren't users"

Of course comments aren't users. Comments are made by users. You're trying to dance around the fact that ensloppifying the NYT Cooking app motivated users to complain and to voice a neutral stance but not to praise the changes. Fact is even the app store is loaded with complaints about the ensloppification. Paying customers are are angry about the untested, uncurated, unwarranted "recipes" because that's not what they're paying for. People are paying for recipes developed, tested, and curated by humans not by AI hallucinations.

OMG what? OMG you're stalking my account looking to pick a fight? OMG you are so daft as to think that's a call to violence? I can only assume you are because you've flagged it. I drew a parallel between consent averse AI bros demanding that people stop complaining about and otherwise resisting the "inevitable" ensloppification of society and the MAGA types demanding that people stop resisting the inevitable shift towards MAGA values. If you can't see the similarities that's a you problem.

P.S. don't worry about insulting me, AI bros aren't bright enough to be insulting… just annoying.
