Until we get UBI, people will compete against each other, and times tables are a tiny part of that. So the question is whether you are sure that Singularity will happen within the next 15 years enough that you don’t see a reason to have a Plan B. Because the times tables are a part of the Plan B.
That said, yelling is unproductive. What about spaced repetition? Make cards containing all problems, put the answer on the other side, go through the cards, put then ones with incorrect answer on a heap that you will afterwards reshuffle and try again. Do this every day. In a few weeks the problem should be solved.
It’s 2025, AIs can solve proofs and my dad is yelling at my 10 year old sister for not memorizing her times tables up to 20
I don’t expect the yelling helps with the memorizing.
Also, even though a big company can grow potatoes much more efficiently, I still like having a backyard garden.

Why up to 20? (Is that a typo?)
not a typo. He’s 50+, grew up in india, without calculators. Yes, he’s yelling at her for not 100% knowing her 17 times table.
