Relax everyone, it’s just some algorithm, not oven with LLM chat bot. It’s not even clear if it uses machine learning. It’s “AI” as a marketing term, not AI in technical sense.
It’s AI in the actual wide technological definition, not AI in the current marketing hype bubble way.

Optical Character Recognition used to be cutting edge AI buzz in the 70s and 80s. Eventually, it got applied to all sorts of places, so OCR kinda lost some of the magic and sparkle. After that, people stopped thinking of it as AI, even though it relies on a neural network.

A simple line of code that goes “if moisture < 0.25 then loaddone” of “water = weight * 0.43” isn’t AI, true.
But when you start stacking enough of them with the goal and results being “We could get a chef to check how the pizza is doing every few seconds and, and control all of the different temperatures of this oven until it’s perfectly done, but we have made a computer algorithm that manages to do that instead”, then it’s quite hard to argue it isn’t software that is “performing a task typically associated with human intelligence, such as … perception, and decision-making.”Especially if that algorithm was (I have no idea if it was in this case btw) not done by just stacking those if clauses and testing stuff manually until it works, but by using machine learning to analyze a mountain of baking data to create a neural network that does it itself. Because at that point, it definitely is artificial intelligence - it’s not an artificial general intelligence, which many people think is the only type of “true AI”, but it is an AI.

this is why that AI marketing works people.
just slap AI in the ad and idiots will make up how it’s smarter than it actually is

Boost Functionality for true Neapolitan Pizza
Oooh, that’s gonna piss someone in the EU off if the EU has it as a protected geographical indicator.

Ooni is an outdoor pizza oven company based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

For geographical indications (GIs), which protect distinctive products from a certain region and apply primarily to agricultural products, the UK and the EU agreed to protect each other’s GIs that existed as of December 31, 2020, under each side’s own GI scheme.
The EU protects True Neapolitan Pizza: new regulation and certifications
Authentic Neapolitan pizza is now protected in the EU by the geographical certification “STG” (or “TSG”, traditional specialty guaranteed). The European Union, with Regulation 2022/2313 accepted the request sent by Italy to protect the name and methods of preparation of one of the main symbols of Made in Italy in the world.
With this decision, therefore, no one will be able to use the name “Pizza Napoletana” (or “Neapolitan Pizza”) unless accompanied by the wording STG.
New rules for the protection of the authentic Neapolitan pizza
To avoid imitations or improvised interpretations of Neapolitan Pizza, the EU has expressed its willingness to protect this typical specialty of the Italian culinary tradition, rewarding the certification only those who follow the original recipe. Among the characteristics of STG certification:
- cooked in a wood oven [emphasis mine]
I think that it may be legal, since it sounds like Italy got the “Neapolitan Pizza” protected post-Brexit.
If it doesn’t burn wood, then it’s not a pizza oven.
Apparently, wood ignites at around 260 °C, so I guess it could - technically - burn wood (and itself in the process, possibly).
