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…

    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.
