But it was, in fact, terrible, very terrible indeed

Not great, not terrible...

I send the gif of that scene at least once a week at work over teams

There a lot of non AI implementations that would be more reliably logical, like presenting options in multiple groups instead of only having a single location buried in submenus.

Like mouse color and size could be in an appearence AND in a general mouse settings that includes mouse appearance and behavior. They could design it so the setting itself is self contained, so it can behave the same way no matter how it is grouped for presentation.

I would expect AI to make up illogical groupings, because it doesn't understand context.

Ever heard of Poe's Law?

It isn't a story that the Jedi would tell you.
