Right now AI hasn't even managed to replace all the human workers taking orders at the fast food drive thru. That's a job often performed by literal children and companies are still waiting for AI to get good enough for even that. Maybe one day it will be good enough, maybe one day it will outperform humans at such a basic task, but that day is not today. If the hype were anything close to reality, we'd see it everywhere in our lives.
- wavemode 10d agoFunny you mention this - a fast food restaurant in my town now has an LLM taking drive-thru orders. Though I highly doubt it has taken anyone's job, since most of the work is still in making, packing and handing over the food. (In fact, given the area I live in, I partially feel like the advantage they saw in it was that the LLM can speak Spanish.)
- autoexec 10d agoLast I heard McDonald's and Taco Bell were trialing AI again at a limited number of stores. It's the kind of job AI should be really good at and many fast food companies are using call center workers currently. They really want AI to work, so they keep trying every few years to make it happen, but so far all they get are embarrassing social media posts
