AI so bad it can’t get your burger order right.

No wonder people are sinking hundreds of billions into it. As opposed to, say, education.

I stopped going to BK because they ALWAYS messed up my order. I finally had it and never went back. I bet the ai is more competent than my local BK. What makes this story more sad is I rarely get fast food, mainly as a treat, and fucking BK always messed it up.

For similar reasons, I stopped ordering with any alterations at all. I used to customize order a little and they always messed it up. It's pretty rare that I go at all, but I figure that way it's the standard meal and they can just go in autopilot making it. Less disappointment when things go wrong
