      Is it just me or has voice recognition taken a sizeable step back over the last 3-5 years? It used to understandably have issues with homophones and such, but now it goes nuts, inserts random punctuation, shit nowhere even CLOSE to what I’m saying.

      I wonder if anyone was able to talk it into a free meal

      If word of that ‘wrong order’ got around it would certainly prompt McD to shut it down

      It’s odd, but Weinerschnitzel figured it out and have been using AI for their drive thru order taking at my local location for months. Haven’t had a single mistake yet.

      About 10 years ago McDonald’s here in Canada had some sort of „bacon on everything“ „promo“ where you could request bacon on anything. I actually did ask for bacon on my ice cream cone. Unfortunately the bacon (2 strips or so) came instead in a burger box and I had to assemble the bacon vanilla cone myself, but it was pretty good.

      there is slim chance of AI actually replacing a real job.

      Its the _threat_ that is being used by Capital.

      It’s what happens when they train language models off of people in chat rooms like reddit. I am an honors English graduate who still doesn’t punctuate or use correct grammar when talking on Reddit. Or in text messages or anything really outside of my career. It’s all shorthand nowadays mixed with slang. So you take that aspect and mix it with people who genuinely can’t spell and you have a disaster waiting to happen for these language models. Literally dumb ai, that either doesn’t understand the input or it lies with the confidence of idiots and trolls on the internet. I see a huge crash back to reality soon with this latest ai craze. Which isn’t even ai it’s just llms.

      I’d like to hear the recordings and what was interpreted by the AI… just so I can better understand the problem.

      Has anyone told all the young tech guys who are terrified AI is gonna take their jobs?

      This is based on some funky IBM tech that isn’t anywhere in the same league as what AI is capable of now in voice to text.

      The problem is the AI is demanding a $25/hr wage and Micky D’s does not want to pay up, so the AI acts up….

      You know, for all the trouble it’ll cause, it’ll at least be entertaining to see all these companies learn the hard way that they dove too quickly into „AI“
