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 neural network.
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).

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.
