Sure. But that’s OK. Any data on the packaging that’s usable by humans is also usable by robots. And what Amazon is figuring out is that once you’ve taught the robot to use the human data it doesn’t necessarily need the not human data (barcodes).
Wow!
They are adding pictures of every inanimate object to a database in addition to the database they already have called “Amazon Photos” (which already includes 17,562 photos that the wife & I have taken since 1960 of the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren)...
Very interesting...
“Just have to have people who can fix them”
Eventually, they’ll be able to fix themselves, and AI will run everything. Humans will not be needed and merely be in the way.
Our area McD franchise went to full kiosk also. For substitutions that can’t be done in the app or at the kiosk I just go to the counter where they still are happy to enter on the register. There pretty much has to be a register for customers who order on the kiosk yet need to pay cash.
With folded hands.😵💫
LOL LOL! Someone should hack his Animatronic and have it say “Where are all the little girls? I wanna sniff their hair!”
AI is not intelligent.
AI walks into a McD’s and asks for ice cream.
McD’s says, “We do not have any ice cream.”
AI starts throwning the loose (”or not”) objects around, while trying to:
a) find ice cream
b) find bar code(s)
c) find the Biden-retrained to code, former auto worker (from closed Jeep Cherokee plant in Rockford, Illinois) who gave AI “the notion” that McD’s has ice cream . . .
and to everybody’s amazement, finds a laptop computer in the bottom of a trash bin.
CNN, Facebook, MSNBC suppress that news, and AI is quickly retrained by the Biden Administration, to “Protect Our Borders” and airlifted to the Ukraine.
Thanks!
Whatever they do, they just won’t think of establishing procedures which present the bar codes on the boxes in a uniform fashion. Nah, that would be too easy, and wouldn’t require millions of dollars worth of electronics.
The large boxes are to make it harder for thieves to steal from your porch.
When the Home Depot guy is going to find you a power tool stored on one of the upper shelves, he finds the location on his smart phone app of the pallet of power tools that was scanned into that location by barcode.

I love how when I need some hardware item I can check the Lowe’s and Home Depot sites to see the price, if the item is in stock at a particular store and its precise location in the store. Now THAT is customer service.
Home Depot guys find things? Last time I bothered to ask them anything they just always said it was on the other side of the store. Sure stores might use barcode scanning while stocking to record where stuff is. That doesn’t counter anything I’ve said.
