Human: I'm trying to cut back on calories and people are telling me an air fryer is a good way to do that. Is this true?

Assistant: 
Air fryers cook food using oil circulating through a heating element.  In this case, the food is typically dumped in, the air fryer is switched on, and there's no need to actively stir the food.  
Well you'll still want to be careful about your salt and oil intake.
