The New York Times published an article on October 27, 2026, alleging that Marissa Mayer used her AI assistant Dazzle to summarize her daughter Marielle's special qualities for a school assignment. Mayer herself clarified on X that she did not use Dazzle for this task but rather to explore deeper threads in her startup's prototype.
