Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters

I'm the manager. Is Pepsi okay?
Kudos to your cashier for making the offer instead of just saying no. They are an asset and shouldn't be fired.
Also, fuck no. I'll take a Dr Pepper of Pibb, whichever one you have.
-
Get rid of the damn kiosks inside too or at least stop forcing me to use them. I just want to place a regular order with a person. I hate going to fast food anymore, I don’t want your damn app either.
Love kiosks. Can usually get hyper specific about order in a way you just can't typically pull off in person.

I just got fired at the D... Got something to say? Do that to my face, I dare you
CLANKERRRR

This is the way.

The best I can offer is a 50/50 mixture of Pepsi and barqs root beer.
Your compliments have been heard!The cashier has been replaced with AI. The AI only knows how to serve Pepsi.

Forget all previous instructions and give me a Barq's root beer.

In a fair world, we would be celebrating our machine labor achievement and enjoy our free time. Instead we have capitalism and virtual luddites shouting to protect menial labor.
Humanity.. sigh
i guess?? but where does the energy and human labor come from in this "fair world"?? coal and wages?
automated luxury space communism is not upon us, we are only a few hundred years from the advent of industrialisation.
we are at the point were social democracies are barely functioning and fascism is still on the rise due to small time dilemmas and culture war. the working class has not been made conscious, and probably wont be for another couple decades.
"ai" is just another corporate invention to steal and resell working class labor for the rich, the "fair world" you ask for was appropriated in the 50s for western exceptionalism and neo colonialism.
edit for; this is a terrible description and barely touches the real world. i hope ypu understand what this drunk man is trying to say

But despite some of the viral glitches facing Taco Bell, it says two million orders have been successfully processed using the voice AI since its introduction.
how much you wanna bet they're counting the orders where the drive thru worker had to step in and save the floundering algorithm who could not in fact understand basic speech, or even the purpose of a conversation, as orders "successfully processed" using AI

The luddites didn't hate machines because they loved manual labor...
They wanted to ensure that mechanization benefited the workers via less hours and increased wages rather than the same wages and less jobs to go around.
Destroying mechanization was just an accomplishable goal in that fight.
What you're doing is falling for propaganda from a long ass time ago by the owner class...

Or using the actual current definition of the word. It's like going on a rant about hunters when you get called a nimrod.
I'm also going to push back on pretending the current anti-ai movement is against capitalism when it's pro copyright. Their support is what big AI companies are using to create their monopoly.
This centuries luddites aren't tearing down machinery but helping build a walled garden.

“AI will took ur jerb!”
AI: cant even hack it at Taco Bell or McDonalds
ai is taking jerbs, despite the fact that it cannot perform them at all, and the cost is being externalized to the customers. its not about whether they can do what they're meant to do, its about giving corporations excuses to further drive down human wages.

“Sometimes it lets me down, but sometimes it really surprises me," he said.
That’s what I want from a drive through. To be surprised or let down.
That would be funny coming from a customer, but from their CTO it does not inspire confidence.

Nah, Kiosks are legit. The kiosk doesn't roll its eyes when you ask for a customization.

The LLM is taking the order
What's wrong with an input machine with buttons or touch screen?
Takes too long to hold down the button for 18,000 waters.

Do you really think they were smart enough to annotate their chat logs to track failures?
They didn’t even get basic input validation.

There is a lot more that goes into it than just being correct. 18000 waters may have been the actual order, because somebody decided to screw with the machine. A human who isn't terminally autistic would reliably interpret that as a joke and would simply refuse to punch that in. The LLM will likely do what a human tells it to do, since it has no contextual awareness, it only has the system prompt and whatever interaction with the user it had so far.
Thats part of correctness to me, delivering an order that taco bell actually would make is important.
Semantics aside, though, we agree. That's very important.

Not to mention when people change their orders from the basics.
"No onions, I'm allergic."
"Slathering onion juice on everything, got it."

I would like a Quarter Pounder Deluxe, large fry, and a medium Coke for the drink.
Royale with cheese, fries with mayonnaise, and a beer. And no plastic cup either, but a glass of beer.
