If an LLM can’t be trusted with a fast food order, I can’t imagine what it is reliable enough for. I really was expecting this was the easy use case for the things.
It sounds like most orders still worked, so I guess we’ll see if other chains come to the same conclusion.



it’s not ‘ai’, it’s just a poorly trained voice recognition system that’s trying to decipher any random person’s voice. voice rec has a difficult-enough time when trained on a single person in a professional setting (lawyer, doctor, etc)–which is work we used to do here. it’s going to absolutely fail in a ‘drive thru’ environment.
“It’s not AI, it’s just <multiple things that all fall under the category of Artificial Intelligence>”.
AI is a huge field of computer science. It’s not the one tiny narrow definition of artificial general intelligence like HAL 9000 or Skynet or Detroit Become Human.
It’s not AI unless it’s running on a cluster of H200s. Anything else is just sparkling text prediction.
