  • As much as I strongly (very strongly) dislike AI-generated anything, I can at least acknowledge that there can be ethical uses of it assuming you hold your nose and ignore the very likely unethical means by which the model(s) were trained.

    That said, what you described would definitely not be ethical IMO. I see where you’re coming from, I do, but I’ve never been one to fight disinformation/lies with more disinformation/lies. Beyond the slippery slope, it’s still operating in bad faith and not something I could ever consider ethical let alone welcome.



  • I’m not a fan of single-purpose appliances (microwave notwithstanding), and I recently got a toaster oven / air fryer / grill (so no microwave) and I love it. Haven’t used my full size oven in the 3 months I’ve had this one.

    The “Trivection Oven” (as seen on 30 Rock) is a real appliance, and includes microwave heating as one of the 'vections. I believe the microwave heating is just to speed up cooking with the thermal and convection heat for crisping.

    Are they a gimmick? Honestly, no clue. I’ve not used one, but the logic checks out and Alton Brown approves.
