Would you like seventeen packets of ketchup with that?

    Maybe it’s just me, maybe I’m getting old. But I want to order through a person. Not a touchscreen and not AI.

    I feel like society is slowly removing humans from our everyday interactions and I don’t like it.

        It’s fine when what you want is on the menu. But as soon as you have a question or need something a little bit off menu (hold the tomatoes, does that have nuts in it? I’m allergic, this food came out cold can I get another?) the glorified vending machine doesn’t work.

      I’ve heard a few instances in which “AI” is just a bunch people responding to a voice to text feed in the Philippines.

      So much of this isn’t really technology. It’s just a new kind of service sector outsourcing.
