Went through the Taco Bell drive thru this evening and the person taking the order was automated. They asked if I wanted to use the app, which has happened before but usually a real person will come after and take the order. Not tonight. After I said I wouldn’t be using the app, the computer asked what I wanted, asked me to check the order on the screen and said to pull up.

They want more money but now they can’t even take the order.

We live in a clown world.

It sounds like they took the order. Did the computer pause 3 times to talk to someone else and then keep asking you to repeat things?

I have used the AI drive thru at Taco Bell as well. It took my order with me having to repeat myself and was accurate the first time. Took easily half the amount of time as a low IQ human and got my order right. I much preferred it.

If you're sober enough to handle the janky arse AI order taker what the frick are you doing eating taco bell?

ETA: shite if you're sober enough to be able to make it to the drive through that's your cue that you're too sober to eat taco bell.

I would much rather pull up, order on an iPad, swipe to pay and have the food waiting on me when I got to the window than talk to a disgruntled human being through a glorified walkie talkie.

Same goes for restaurants. I need a food delivery not a human interaction.

Once you get out of Louisiana, fast food experience is a whole lot better. In Colorado, none of the workers speak English, but I'll be God damned if they don't get your food out in under a minute.

Why did you have to repeat yourself if it was accurate the first time?

Things that make you go Hmmm?

AI, Automation, and Robotics are the future. Which makes it even more puzzling why we have imported millions of low iq third world citizens. There won’t be any jobs for these people in 15 years.

Never had an order app get the order wrong or give me attitude.

I’m pretty sure something else is now taking the order BECAUSE they want more money.

I’d feel way better about eating fast food if less humans touched my food.

Does AI say, "it's going to ask you a question?"?

I think you mean the minimum wage employees wanted more money and now they don't even have a job because they've been replaced by AI.

Louisiana has to be the worst. Workers that barely acknowledge your presence while taking your order, incomplete or wrong orders, and not one effing napkin in the bag. Also where is my straw?
