AI so bad it can’t get your burger order right.

No wonder people are sinking hundreds of billions into it. As opposed to, say, education.

[–] cornshark@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why would we need education if there aren't going to be any jobs to do?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s one of those mysteries. Maybe we should ask an educated person.

They've redirected your call to an untrained AI that just keeps saying "Hello??? Hello??? Hello???"

Because thats all it ever hears before people hang up on it. So thats sll the language they know.

It's McDonald's, no amount of humans or technology will get your order right.

I stopped going to BK because they ALWAYS messed up my order. I finally had it and never went back. I bet the ai is more competent than my local BK. What makes this story more sad is I rarely get fast food, mainly as a treat, and fucking BK always messed it up.

For similar reasons, I stopped ordering with any alterations at all. I used to customize order a little and they always messed it up. It's pretty rare that I go at all, but I figure that way it's the standard meal and they can just go in autopilot making it. Less disappointment when things go wrong

Eh......AI messes my order. Some dumbass teenager messes up my order. Whats the difference?

I wouldn't call it the MAIN reason I no longer go get fast food......but maybe like the lower end of the top 10 reasons I gave up fast food years ago.

At least the dumbass teenager isn't putting glue on a pizza. Although in my area they will use the pepperoni placement to make a swastica on your pizza........or put their bare feet into the lettice of the burger king lettice bins. I mean sure, THOSE guys got fired, but how many other stories DON'T make the news???
