Tried the just released GPT-4 and most everyone on this forum are smarter:

ASKED: What's the best smoker for the home cook

ANSWERED:
When it comes to choosing the best smoker for home cooking, there are a few factors to consider, such as price, size, ease of use, and type of fuel. Here are some popular options:

1. Electric smoker: An electric smoker is a great option for beginners or those who want a more user-friendly option. It is easy to use, and there is no need to worry about maintaining a fire. It is also typically more affordable than other options. Some popular electric smoker brands include Masterbuilt, Bradley, and Char-Broil.
2. Charcoal smoker: A charcoal smoker is a traditional option that provides a more authentic smoky flavor to your food. It can take a bit more time to learn how to use and maintain, but many people prefer the taste of food cooked on a charcoal smoker. Popular charcoal smoker brands include Weber, Kamado Joe, and Big Green Egg.
3. Pellet smoker: A pellet smoker uses wood pellets as fuel and provides a similar taste to a charcoal smoker. It is typically more expensive than an electric smoker but easier to use than a charcoal smoker. Popular pellet smoker brands include Traeger, Pit Boss, and Camp Chef.

Ultimately, the best smoker for you will depend on your preferences and needs. If you are new to smoking and want an easy-to-use option, an electric smoker may be the best choice. If you are a more experienced cook and want a more authentic smoky flavor, a charcoal or pellet smoker may be a better fit.

Ask it to prove Fermat's Last Theorem.
It took about 358 years for a mathematician to solve. If it can I will take its advice on what my next smoker will be. 🤯

[Murdy]

You're burying the lead. There was a 358 year old mathematician?

Well once a robot, always a robot. The dang brain has no idea bout PBC or the Oakie Joe or the SnS with the slow n sear (and a Weber kettle) fer that matter. Mighty fine smokers they are in the charcoal category.

Well it does now cause I’m sure it’s following you……😳😁

For a basic answer to that question, this is pretty darned good I'd say. Pretty similar to what I'd say if a pure beginner asked me that. Starts with the simplest information, not a comprehensive list of all choices. Presumably the user could then, for example, ask "Tell me more about charcoal smokers" and see where it goes.

But make no mistake, the swift advances in AI we're seeing definitely alarm me. Sure seems like a short throw from what we have right now, with these kinds of AIs and autonomous robotic vehicles and weaponry, to Skynet.

The only robot I listen to is WALL-E... or the Roomba

[Murdy]

And what is the Roomba telling you?

Roomba: "This sucks!"

I'm at an research educational technology conference right now and the hot topic is AI / ChatGPT. It is nearly all anyone can talk about. It is a unique blend of awe and quiet abject horror.

But, I did have the best fried shrimp and oyster po'boy of my life for lunch. (We're in New Orleans.)

[Panhead John]

I love shrimp and oyster po boys….where did you eat at Michael?

[Draznnl]

Forget this AI stuff, let’s hear about @Michael_in_TX’s New Orleans eating experiences. 😂

The Main and glaring problem is Pellet smoker/Grill is listed third and should be Number 1.

The words "Intelligence" and "Masterbuilt" are oxymoron's..

[rlozinak]

LSG was not mentioned....

[WillTravelForFood]

Technically, aren't Pellet smokers also "electric smokers" ?

[smokin fool]

If you take the guts out of a robot it could almost be a smoker.

[Allon]

Set it ablaze... It'll smoke...

I see AI is just like me—master of the obvious🤣.

Great.......more ways to suck the soul out of BBQ.
