A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

McDonald's tried replacing order-takers (don't know what they call them) with AI, and it couldn't even do that...
Plus, planes already have dozens of safety systems that warn real pilots of dangers, they just don't have enough control to take over flying the plane, which is good. If the lane keeping system on my car is any indication, computers are only as good as the environment sensors attached. When my car thinks I'm doing something wrong, like driving on a street with no curbs and shitily painted yellow lines, the steering wheel vibrates like Doug. Doug is my vibrator....
They are mostly. Kiosks now, McDonald's in many areas have permanently shuttled its franchises due to falling sales
He's not talking about the touchscreen kiosk things. He's talking about the drive-through AI order-takers. Which have pretty much been a disaster no matter where you go.
