Lately on yt I have been seeing a shitload of ads for a new oven with AI, it is marketed as knowing what you are cooking in it would make it better.

I don't see how.

Also, on the product page on the manufacturers web page, the second sentence of the body reads:

Navigating through the extensive settings menu is beautifully simple with the new touch screen user interface.

I am sorry, a fucking settings menu on an oven is a primary sales argument?

What the hell?

There is more shit:

With cookControl Pro, all you have to do is select your dish, choose how you want it done, and let your oven do the rest.

You mean like a normal oven? You set the temp according to the dish?.

They even brags about internal steak and bread thermometers, we have had those for decades.

Well obviously, it has a connection to an app or even a smart speaker, and ofcourse the UI on the oven is a touch UI.

Thanks, but no thanks, I'll keep using my oven with normal knobs....

They want to find the lowest common denominator in your area so they can bump up those prices. Sure it might tickle your balls and cook juicy meat but at the end of the day it is the ol rug pull. The gipity is no good ever.

All you need is a simple lookup-table. I have a microwave from the 80s where you can input "I have a cake with 500g and want to slowly get it from a frozen state to an edible state" and it works.

Also, it's deterministic and will melt down the cake in the same way every time I use it. There's no chance of it hallucinating and blasting my meal with 900 watts for ten minutes.
