Great question, no idea why you and your ilk do that dumb shite
Well 1) you're clueless about most things in life and 2) There is no reason for me to be less than truthful. You're just trolling.
They were talking about front line customer service reps. Folks that answer phone calls from the public. The only real cost is the hardware, which is minimal and electricity to run it. According to them, the AI is even smart enough to emulate the predominant accent and dialect of the Area and/or zip code of where the originated from.
Have I seen their product at work? No. But have they given me any reason not to believe them? No, they haven't.

Taco Bell has been a massive disappointment the last dozen times I’ve been there, not sure why I continue to put myself through it each time.

I’m certainly not ruling out you just being flat out stupid enough to believe that

No it’s not
The hardware cost is immaterial. The software and hosting and/or colocation you need to back the AI is the cost, and you aren’t getting that for $200/month, not even close right now.
If you are going to make shite up, stay vague, now you just look like a total retard because you’re verifiably wrong

Order through the app and you can even skip the AI.

Think Mingo may be upset the writings on the wall me

But if you're selling someone hundreds of units, you can amortize the software cost across all of them...

Are you under the impression of running hosted software is a fixed cost?
Keep digging brother

But what can the AI do for my diarrhea tho?

Had dinner and hung out with some friends last night. One of them works for a company that's rolling out a lot of AI platforms for companies. They said they have a product that can replace a $40,000/year front line employee for less that $200 per year.
If this is true, post their ticker symbol, I want to invest.

You can’t get Microsoft excel for $15/month, but there’s commercially available AI for that.

A single fast food chain location pays $300-500 per month in POS software subscription fees. There are thousands of franchisees of this particular chain across the country.
Nobody is going to sell an AI employee replacement for the $200/year you claimed. That may be all it costs the developer, but they will charge the end users hundreds if not thousands of dollars per month for software and support. And that’s not including the cost of the hardware.

The electricity to host it would cost more than that right now

AI is definitely a game changer. The truly scary part is that it’s still in its infancy. I find I use it more and more professionally but it seems the valued skillset going forward is being able to think like a computer to revise prompts, and having enough knowledge to know when it needs revising.
It can very easily remove most (if not essentially all) white collar jobs in 20-30 years.

Um. Yes you can. Web only for 6 bucks. Desktop app functionality at 12.50

People just make shite up
I’m a franchisee. 3 cash registers and some monitors costs me 40k per location, plus $400/mo for software and $150/mo for warranty on the hardware. And that cost is per location. Doesn’t matter how many locations you own.
I can’t imagine what someone is going to charge for what that dude is describing. It’ll be closer to $200/day than $200/year

A full-time Taco Bell worker at an average location might handle approximately 6,500 drive-thru orders per year.
As someone who's hit the LLM APIs a good bit, it's plausible that you could replace a single worker with $200 in LLM API calls per year. Obviously a shite ton of other costs involved, but that could be the source of miscommunication.

So tonight, I learned that the drive thru's at many Taco Bells have been replaced by Ai.
I found this out last week. Had a craving for junk food. AI took my order no problem. Except for five tacos and a Mexican pizza it was about $18. I remember when $18 at Taco Bell could feed an army. frick that, for $18 I’ll get an entree at a real Mexican restaurant.

Doesn’t matter if you believe it’s not true, Tyga. It is absolutely happening as you bury your head in the sand.
The constant threat of liability and the utter ineptitude/DGAS of current employees forces these decisions on even the most ethical/moral companies.
AI will be taking the orders, preparing the food, then handing it to you. Game Over for the unskilled in the job market. You can see where this leads for society.
