I’ve used several drive thrus where I felt that just having a Google form for me to fill out would have been more effective. Also drive thrus are helping to destroy the world. #fuckcars
Can’t we just press buttons in a screen ourselves?
Exactly. I know a much of McDonald’s have self order kiosks. And if you live near a Wawa/Sheetz/royal farms (all USA chains) they use mobile order kiosks. The tech exists they just don’t want to use it for the drive thru for some reason. Drive up ATMs are all over the place so it’s not like it’s a foreign idea to use a touch screen from a car.
Drive up ATMs are all over the place
For a European that sounds so odd and uncomfortable. I gut that picture in my head of a person trying so hard to reach all the buttons on the ATM, hanging out of their car’s door awkwardly, yet unable to simply get out because they still have to push down the break, since the road isn’t even and the car would simply roll downhill. And they finally made it! After lots of fumbeling and weird twister-like streches through the window of their opened car door they got their money! Just barely holding on to it between the tips of their index and middle finger, relieved this whole ridiculous excercise is about to be over, a gust of wind comes along and rips the money out of their grasp, carrying it down the road where it eventually lands in a puddle. A teen looks down at the puddle, then dead into the eyes of the driver. The world around them is going mute as they stare at each other. A single drop of sweat rolls down the drivers forehead. Without breaking eye contact the teen kneels down to pick up the 50 dollar bill. The driver cries out in utter helplessness and disagreement: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I’m sorry, I got carried away with this… I really hope drive up AMTs are much easier to use than I imagine. But please don’t take this away from me xDD
I mean, so far, all of them require tons of humanly produced data.
Discriminative AI (deep learning et al) requires humans to label data for hours on end, per use-case.
And generative AI (LLMs et al) require just insane amounts of human works to copy from, albeit not necessarily limited to individual use-cases.I guess, what I’m saying is that the ratio of how much labor humans (involuntarily) invested into AIs, compared to the labor these AIs actually perform, is likely a lot higher than 70%.
People are touting this like it’s a good thing or something, presumably this means a 30% reduction compared to the previous staffing this would have require. 30% is a lot.
I don’t think it’s perceived as good? (curious, why would it be?) Just that it’s disingenuous to market it as AI. Everyone and their mother now has “”“AI”“” 🤷♂️
