"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Why does an oven need to know what it is cooking? (lemmy.zip)

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....

My air fryer (just a small countertop convection oven big enough for a whole chicken and sides) has a meat probe attachment that turns off the device when the internal temp reaches the desired doneness, and that requires telling it what kind of meat you have, but thats all. It doesnt need to know anything else, including whether or not you have sides, that’s what the guide tables in the booklet are for.

I assume this ai thing just does the same thing internally, and probably doesn't even have ai or advanced logic at all. You plug in the food and it references the guide table itself internally. Saving you exactly zero time because plugging in the food is more work than looking at a reference table.

Someone cooking a whole chicken and sides in a single air fryer at the same time is exactly the type of dumbass I'd expect to be using AI and AI bullshit products. 🤡

Why? Its a small countertop convection oven thats branded as an air fryer. You dont know what you are on about if you think thats anything new or special. Every oven I've ever had including when I was a baby was convection, its just been shrunk and rebranded as air fryer. This one has about the same interior space as a large microwave and fits about the same space as my microwave. Its not like one of those shitty plastic things or something.

I use it to avoid using a gas oven. It was $200 when i bought it, and I was careful to make sure it would do what I wanted it for.
