That’s because we’re in a recession. It has nothing to do with AI. AI can’t replace a god damn drive thru worker. McDonald’s literally tried and failed, that’s the funny part.
Weird. Most of the MacDonald's where I live use AI. And they're not the only ones. Doesn't seem like they failed.
MacDonald's is always trying "new" things intermittently in different markets. Removal from one market doesn't equal failure or permanence.
Most of the failures are a direct result of people intentionally trying to make it fail. Ordering a gazillion big macs and then replacing a third of them with egg mcmuffins is hardly something people would normally wish to do. Discoveries, like its inability to work with fractional food orders, are total nonsense since literally nobody orders food that way, unless they're trying to get lulz for their social accounts.
