So...voice recognition, which has been around for decades? They're calling that "AI" now? Yes I realize that newer implementations are more advanced. But it's still a voice recognition system.
They could have literally just titled the article "McDonald's introduces voice-recognition drive-thru system, sparking customer backlash." But that wouldn't make for an attention-grabbing headline if they didn't shoe-horn "AI" in there.
They need AI to tell the difference between Tomato and Tomato, and Soda and Pop and "shivers* " Rootbeer Coke"
