If having to face Andreeva, Collins and Kvitova before taking on the #1 player in the world in the QF then still needing to win two more matches to lift the throphy is the most favourable draw in the tournament then I guess AI has already surpassed us cause that makes zero sense.
IBM AI US Open prediction of Coco Gauff having the easiest draw "makes zero sense" fans claim

The US Open
has released the analysis conducted by IBM AI, which indicates that Coco Gauff
has the easiest draw of the tournament and sparked reactions among fans.
With the
main draw now determined, the seeded players are familiar with their opponents
and potential challengers in the upcoming rounds. The official technological
partner, IBM AI, has predicted which players would have the easiest rounds
throughout the tournament and has singled out Coco Gauff as the primary
beneficiary.
The tennis
community didn't agree on social media, and many argued that Gauff would
actually have a challenging path.

"If
having to face Andreeva, Collins and Kvitova before taking on the #1 player in
the world [Swiatek] in the QF, then still needing to win two more matches to
lift the throphy is the most favourable draw in the tournament, then I guess Al
has already surpassed us cause that makes zero sense."
Coco Gauff
will begin her journey in the tournament as the sixth seed and will face Laura
Siegemund, who comes from the qualifiers. In the second round, Mirra Andreeva
appears as her potential opponent, and in the third round, rivals could include
Collins, Fruhvirtova, or Mertens.
If things
follow the expected path and favorites prevail, Petra Kvitova would be her
fourth-round opponent, leading to a potential quarterfinal match against Iga
Swiatek. Should she continue to progress, Rybakina would be the likely
adversary in the semifinals, and Sabalenka or Pegula in a hypothetical final.
Here are
some reactions from other fans to the news:
"Maybe IBM needs to fix their algorithm because this is hogwash. How does she have the most favourable draw when she’s going to face multiple slam winners enroute to the title? Including the world number 1?"

What kind of pressure is this for the official account to be releasing this? Jeez. Also, how does she even have a favourable draw when she is projected to meet Collins in the 3rd round and Kvitova/Brady in the 4th, then Iga in the QF? Whoever made the analysis did a poor one.
Where’s sabalenka? Her draw is way easier than rybakina and pegula
Not true. Even that first game against the other Teenager is going to be tough. Then face very tough others . She's goy a very tough draw please
Ridiculous! Collins or Brady can take Gauff out early. Swiatek, Sabalenka, Pegula and Jabeur have easy draws. Elena and Coco should lot be in this list.

- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
