The Dublin, Ohio-based fast-food chain’s chatbot will be officially rolled out in June at a company-owned restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, Wendy’s said.

I could have lots of fun with that.

W8ll it recognize authentic oogabooganese?
Maybe not right now, but I bet in a few years it will translate most languages in real time.
How about Neal B Forzod.
This is what you get with >$15.00/hour minimum wage.
Do fries come with that?
Right now and AI voice asks for my order. Invariably, a few minutes later a real voice ask me again for my order or to repeat my order. Now I wait for the second voice before talking.
Can we assume they’ll cut the price of their burgers?
And she (not) said:
“I love you too, sweetheart”

I mumble something and then wait for the human to show up.
