with @nytimes.com persistent push to lock down / paywall Games in some fashion, i am never surprised when the WordleBot or ConnectionsBot page isn’t usable. but i am forever annoyed that it lists the reason as me not being subscribed to News (since..i am).

Now that it’s not a spoiler, can I say that I find it perhaps notable the Connection’s AI couldn’t fathom how I made this error.

To be fair, Ruff Ryders is a label, while OutKast, Salt-n-Pepa, and The Pharcyde are groups.

But still, disturbing lack of hiphop knowledge in the model here.
ConnectionsBot failing to understand how I grouped Outcast, Salt-and-Pepper, Rough Riders, and The Far Side together.

ConnectionsBot has this a 5/5 difficulty, while the Connections Hint page says it's 1/5. Who knows? I had purple second, but wanted to get them all in order.

Though ConnectionsBot rated this one 3/5 today, I thought the overlap made it trickier than that.

According to ConnectionsBot, today was a 5/5, but I give it a 0/5 for one of the purples, because in my three score and ten plus years on this planet, I have never heard of that word filling in the blank.

Yes! I was a bit surprised that they thought it was the hardest, and then the ConnectionsBot said that this was people's first correct choice, so most others thought it was fairly easy too!

I won’t post the result as it would be a spoiler, but there is a spectacular fail by NYT ConnectionsBot this morning when assigning possible descriptions of wrong answers.
