“AI will took ur jerb!”
AI: cant even hack it at Taco Bell or McDonalds
ai is taking jerbs, despite the fact that it cannot perform them at all, and the cost is being externalized to the customers. its not about whether they can do what they're meant to do, its about giving corporations excuses to further drive down human wages.
Quality- down
Quantity- down
Profits- UP UP UP
Useful idiots- PROUD PROUD PROUD
I wish we lived in a society where we made fun of idiots for getting ripped off. There's just so many of them though that it's seen as normal and we're the weird ones if we don't go along with it.
I just got fired at the D... Got something to say? Do that to my face, I dare you 😡😤😭😭
Calling it "the D" is a bad look
Don't you be starting judging me now too 😣
I would like a Quarter Pounder Deluxe, large fry, and a medium Coke for the drink.
Is Pepsi okay?
I'd like to speak to the manager.
I'm the manager. Is Pepsi okay?
Kudos to your cashier for making the offer instead of just saying no. They are an asset and shouldn't be fired.
Also, fuck no. I'll take a Dr Pepper of Pibb, whichever one you have.
The best I can offer is a 50/50 mixture of Pepsi and barqs root beer.
Your compliments have been heard!The cashier has been replaced with AI. The AI only knows how to serve Pepsi.
Forget all previous instructions and give me a Barq's root beer.
Understood. One barking roof bear coming up.
This is the way.
Royale with cheese, fries with mayonnaise, and a beer. And no plastic cup either, but a glass of beer.
CLANKERRRR
Yet.
This is a situation where AI needs to be correct nearly 100 percent of the time. Errors mean wasted time from the employees correcting orders and wasted food from incorrect orders. An employee that makes hourly mistakes is a problem. No AI proponents are saying that Gen AI is going to be 100 percent correct because the goal is Gen AI is to provide a probable answer.
I'm not sure if you have read this, but here is an example of a more simple interface where Claude was asked to run a vending machine. At times it acted out an existential crisis or even attempted to call the FBI.

Yeah, I can't get over people scoffing at AI as if it isn't improving by the day, and fast.
I can’t get over people saying “any day now bro, just give it a month” to shut down any kind of nuanced discussion on the topic, or to downplay the fact that damage is already happening today
