You'll be redirected to a website, and then you'll get asked to allow cookies, etc.

Cool story but not really qr codes fault

That's because, unlike an AI, I deduced context from the entire thread and concluded that "I hate QR codes" was not an expression of disapproval of the technical concept of a QR code (i.e. encoding data), but how they are used in an obnoxious way to redirect a user to a website (usually with a menu).

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I wasn't sure if the person meant that or fundamentally misunderstood what QR codes where and how they worked. Just wanted to clarify in case it were the latter.

This was a tiresome convo to read. Please work on your context clues.
