I’ve used several drive thrus where I felt that just having a Google form for me to fill out would have been more effective. Also drive thrus are helping to destroy the world. #fuckcars
I’m a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They’re often too occupied to hear what I’m saying well, and they don’t always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.
This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I’m in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren’t dead and you’ll see what I mean.
You’re talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.
Well that’s a wild assumption.
Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.
I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I’m not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.
Idk
I work shitty retail because of gender/sexuality discrimination
Like no ppl shouldn’t yell at you but like
I got kicked out of my house by my husband for losing that job
People are touting this like it’s a good thing or something, presumably this means a 30% reduction compared to the previous staffing this would have require. 30% is a lot.
I don’t think it’s perceived as good? (curious, why would it be?) Just that it’s disingenuous to market it as AI. Everyone and their mother now has “”“AI”“” 🤷♂️
I mean, so far, all of them require tons of humanly produced data.
Discriminative AI (deep learning et al) requires humans to label data for hours on end, per use-case.
And generative AI (LLMs et al) require just insane amounts of human works to copy from, albeit not necessarily limited to individual use-cases.
I guess, what I’m saying is that the ratio of how much labor humans (involuntarily) invested into AIs, compared to the labor these AIs actually perform, is likely a lot higher than 70%.
