McDonald’s is removing artificial intelligence (AI) powered ordering technology from its drive-through restaurants in the US, after customers shared its comical mishaps online.
A trial of the system, which was developed by IBM and uses voice recognition software to process orders, was announced in 2019.
It has not proved entirely reliable, however, resulting in viral videos of bizarre misinterpreted orders ranging from bacon-topped ice cream to hundreds of dollars’ worth of chicken nuggets.
McDonald’s told franchisees it would remove the tech from the more than 100 restaurants it has been testing it in by the end of July, as first reported by trade publication Restaurant Business.
Why is it always the same stupid level of arrogance with you asshats?
No, I do not think computers can think or achieve sentience, they are machines, our brain is not a computer. A computer is not a brain, a brain is not a machine. They will never be the same thing on a base level of simple mechanics. It’s a stupid sci-fi thing like time travel that will simply never happen, because that’s simply not how things work. That is a severe and fundamental misunderstanding of both how a machine works and how a brain works.
How the fuck does that relate to the concepts of the fermi paradox the greater possibility of life in the universe? Seriously, how the fuck so you become that god damned hyperbolic as a part of your operating logic? Do you really not see why that is such a phenomenaly fucking stupid thing of you to say?
I don’t understand. You repeated the same argument I responded to and ignored my response entirely. That’s not how this works.
I’m not sure why you’re calling me an asshat just because we don’t share the same opinion though, do you have so little control of your emotions? Or are you not used to having your opinion challenged?
You’re advocating for slavery, forcing organic sentience to be an inpit method to make computers do things for you that computers can already do with your own input. Ever read any Warhammer 40K? Do you really not understand how fundamentally psychotic that is? What is the end goal with that line of thinking? What is there to be achieved orher than sadistic hubris?
I’m not advocating for it at all, not sure what made you think that. The moral argument is certainly there.
I think we’ll stop here. You’re making up imaginary points to respond to and ignoring what I actually said.
