It really depends on what you're planning to sew 😊 If you're a beginner and want to get the basics down, then a machine like that could be useful - it'll suggest the right settings, help you not get confused with thread and tension. But if you've already been sewing for like five years and know what you need, then probably no point overpaying for AI features. A regular good machine will work just as well.
The main thing I'd pay attention to is the machine's reliability itself, stitch quality, and how comfortable it is to work with. AI features sound nice, but will they really simplify your life that much in practice? Check reviews of the specific model, ask to see it in the store. And keep in mind that if something breaks, maintenance on a smart machine might be more expensive than a regular one.
I'd recommend choosing a machine based on its basic specs - stitch type, power, ease of use. The fact that there's AI built in, you can think of that as a bonus, not the main reason to buy it. If the price is the same or the difference is small, then why not get one with the smarts? But don't overpay just for that 💭

Thanks, useful tip. I'm a newbie, so I'm leaning towards a machine with AI - I'm kinda scared to mess up the settings.
The main thing is to figure out whether you actually need that automation or if it's just marketing hype. A machine with AI is convenient if you're constantly switching between different fabric types and stitches, because you don't have to manually hunt for the optimal settings every time. But if you're sewing something specific - say, only knits or only cotton - then you'll quickly memorize the settings you need and that wonder-function will just sit gathering dust.
The price difference is usually pretty noticeable. For what one of those machines costs, you could get a reliable mechanical one that has no electronics at all and will actually last longer. Honestly, I'm not one to pay for technology I won't actively use. Better to pick a machine from a well-known manufacturer with a good reputation, even if it's "ordinary" - that matters way more than trendy gimmicks.
If you sew clothes often - it might be useful, but for the price of this machine you could get two regular ones that have been working for decades and don't break down. I wouldn't pay extra for "artificial intelligence" in a sewing machine.
