I'm surprised they're not hiring people in third world countries to take the orders since it's through a microphone.

Or just making people order through their phones and use the drive through as a pick up point.

AI makes revenue go down, stock value go up. The real economy doesn't matter, only Wall Street vibes.

AI v Ingenious Redneck

This is an American company, their customers would probably react poorly to hearing a foreign accent come through the speakers

Visions of ICE running in to take the machines away.

I saw a short of the guy doing that, the AI voice started to respond and then it cut off and a human said "What can I get for you?"

Or, and hear me out: I can drive off, flip them the bird, and go down to one of the other 15 fast food places within a 5 minute drive, that doesn't use a speech recognition AI to take my order.

Some companies make AI interviews, prompt breaking it to pass the interview xD

Are you rhyming on purpose? Let me just edit that last line a bit to make it work even better:

They have the best lettuce and cheese,

and their breakfast beats McD’s.

The Hash browns are actually hash browns

instead of the thin $2.50 ones sold at the clown's.

That's not true. It's developers incapable of using AI responsibly. If my manager told me to use AI, I would be sure to inform them of the limitations professionally.

One clip on Instagram, which has been viewed over 21.5 million times, shows a man ordering "a large Mountain Dew" and the AI voice continually replying "and what will you drink with that?".

"Dude, Where's my car" turning into prophecy wasn't in my bingo card:

But are the AI issues cheaper than the corporate infrastructure around hiring and paying employees and losing the occasional customer? If AI is more profitable, they don’t care. The only thing that’s mattered for decades now is what the bottom line says, no matter the cost.

ICE vs. Clanckers, now that's a match I wasn't expecting

I love almost any place where the ordering process is DIY.

Both are true.

Sure I'll agree it's both.

Nobody is developing current LLMs. They're just feeding it garbage from previous versions.

I was not, and yours is excellent

I tried that with an LLM and it told me I was clever and smart.
there's that regurgitation and feedback loop.

I guess if that makes you happy. Seems like wasted time as opposed to just having the worker take it over and do the order, at which point speech recongition software isn't being used.
