The NYT Seemingly Does Marissa Mayer Dirty

Daring Fireball's John Gruber comments on a New York Times profile of Marissa Mayer's new AI startup Dazzle, questioning how the profile framed Mayer's use of the AI assistant to summarize her daughter's qualities. The profile's lede suggested Mayer felt overwhelmed creating bullet points, leading to social media backlash. Mayer later clarified on X that she used Dazzle to explore deeper insights rather than out of incapacity, suggesting the Times profile misrepresented her motivations.
