AI technology is coming to Taco Bell, hopefully freeing up employees to lessen your wait time and provide better service.

Unless you become Jeremiah Johnson you’ll comply without even knowing it. Properly programmed and sampled you’ll have no way to know if the voice coming from the speaker is attached to a human or bot generated. It’ll will be the standard drivethru experience for you, it’s just the other side where the ordering system itself is talking to you and entering data that will change.
“It is like self-checkout at the grocery store. “
Nope. It is like where you place your order without going in and the bag person then brings it to you.
Instead of training their employees they are attempting to train their customers.
I have refused to use self check out, and I have refused to use the Kiosk, and I have refused to use those computer things on tables in restaurants.
To all you businesses getting rid of staff and making the customer do your job for you, thank you, I am saving money and I feel healthier.
I talk to a human or there is no order. Sorry. Never do talk to a voice box or through a voice box when I order food. Sorry.
“I will not use a machine to order food. No thanks.”
You would rather have a minimum wage person screw up your order while entering it into that machine?
Oh btw, I prepare the majority of my meals. Fast food isn’t healthy, imo.
But you won’t know. Sorry yourself. Again, unless you go full mountain man this IS going to happen. All the drivethrus will be chatbots (I don’t like calling them AI cause that isn’t AI).
And inside is going to be kiosk boards.
So if you get food anywhere it will not be people. Sorry.
Nobody goes to fast food for their health.
Do you work for a firm that sells or distributes AI ?
“Why wouldn’t you be able to special order with the AI interface?”
You can.
“What, the food ?”
Can you use proper grammar? I have no idea what you mean.
Not true for my lifetime. If others fall for the scam, will be their business.
“Do you work for a firm that sells or distributes AI ?”
Are you a Taco Bell order clerk?
You must be AI ….. LOL
I didn’t insult you so why do you insult me ?
Yes, of course you can. As I indicated in my other comment, AI can make sense of mistakes and poor phrasing I write that I can hardly figure out later.
“Nobody goes to fast food for their health.”
I do. When my wife says she wants to skip cooking dinner for the day and suggests I run out to get burgers ...
“I talk to a human or there is no order. Sorry. Never do talk to a voice box or through a voice box when I order food. Sorry.”
You never do drive-throughs?
The only thing I like about them is the light ketchup option.
When I order with a human no matter what I say they put so much on I wonder if there was anything left in the bottle.
I also joke as to when I will have to go back in the kitchen and make the order myself
Do not do drive throughs or drive-bys. I order on the inside. No person, no order.
