So I recently went to taco bell a few weeks ago where they implemented the AI drive thru order system. Creepy as hell.

I went again a week later at like 11 pm to find the line at the drive thru basically circled the block TWICE. I abandoned the quest for the lux box and went home.

Went again the next week, found that they had removed the AI drive thru. I'm assume the events are related.

Certainly! Would you like the 6 piece or 12 widdly scuds?

12

Sorry, we are all out of widdly scuds. Anything else?

No

Ok, that's 1 grilled stuffed bacon burrito, no bacon, substitute cinnamon twists, with a side order of extra bacon, and a 0-piece widdly scuds. Please select a dipping sauce for the 0-piece widdly scuds. Sorry, widdly scuds have been discontinued.

Wait did you say no bacon?

Yes, we have bacon dipping sauce. Is that all?

I guess

_If you order the 12 piece widdly scuds instead of the 0-piece, the dipping sauce is free. Would you like to do that?

Yes

I'm sorry, widdly scuds are no longer available at this location. Is that all?

Yeah I guess

That will be NaN dollars, please pull ahead to the first second window, thank you.

It was probably a test drive for their own, slopware implementation, and that test resulted in a resounding failure. A person is going to be better in a fast-paced situation like a drive through, to be completely honest. I wouldn't trust an 'AI' to effectively take my order and relay it accurately to the staff. That was probably why the line at the drive through was circled around the block twice, as it was truly ineffective at processing human input. The touch ordering stands are far more reliable in my opinion and actually work because you are making all those selections and not relying on a shitty, hallucination engine to do the work.
