Ummmmm, that's not a "mean" caesar salad. It's competitive with a supermarket premade but doesn't compare to a restaurant or homemade caesar salad.
This isn't any different than a vending machine or those coke dispensers with a touch screen flavour picker.
The real job loss will be when this is a real robot that is fresh tearing the romaine and whisking the dressing after you press the buttons and delivering an actual caesar salad.
- shostack 9y agoNot disagreeing on the perceived quality of this salad...but does that really change the issue at hand? I would think that while it may be challenging, I don't see it as unthinkable that we could have a robot tear leaves of romaine and spinning a whisk.
- Ensorceled 9y agoRight. But this machine is functionally equivalent to a coffee vending machine: punch espresso drink, medium, cappuccino and put your cup under the nozzle. Those machines haven't replaced anybody at Starbucks -- they simply made the lives of the receptionist at my Toyota Dealership easier. These examples need to be game changers to convince people, a fancy vending machine isn't going to scare anybody. A replacement fry cook, sous chef or truck driver will.
