You are right. The AK47 isn't what it was in the 90th. It's more indica today. But the question was, what is a good strain for beginners and I find the AK47 still is. I grew the modern version of the AK47 just some years ago I still find this is an easy to grow plant, with good yield and strong weed, although it's not what is was 20 years ago. And when growing from seed it is important to have a stable strain and it is stabel. There will be no hay weed plants
I don't know what Serious Seeds changed concerning the AK47. But I can't find any threads here when I search for 'AK-47 Chronic' in the titlesearch. So if there are 'countless threads and forum posts of people complaining that they were sold AK47 under the promise of it being the cup winner only to find out it's basically The Chronic', like you say, show me please.
I personally doubt that Serious Seeds used the Chronic. I grew both, the AK-47 and the Chronic and I can't find any signs of the Chronic in the AK-47, nor the smell, nor the big buds. And the turn is completly different. The AK-47 is also much stronger than the Chronic. Beside the very good flavour, I found the Chronic rather instable and partly very disappointing concerning strenght.
If there are people who claim their AK-47 was different and showed signs of the Chronic, I would ask first where they bought their seeds. I bought mine in person in Amsterdam at Serious Seeds. I live two and a half hour distant by car to Amsterdam. To buy in Amsterdam is the most easy and most sure way for me to get good seeds.
can i ask you where you was able to score the seeds directly @ serious in amsterdam?

If you look in their subforum section here and at the AK47 strain thread, towards the end there is some discussion on it as well.
For 1 person claiming "it's still good", there are 9 complaining that it is shit and far removed from the special thing it used to be. Mediocre at best.
I didn't have much to add that hasn't been said but this sparks a question of my own. Sorry OP, but any that you all think would NOT be recommended for a beginner?
