    Two stories like this–as in, “oops AI sucks actually”, in about as many weeks. (The other one was about Amazon shutting down their Just Walk Out mechanical turk nonsense.)

    I think we’re starting to see the tide turn against Altman’s big con.

    I liked this quote BTW:

    the test left it confident “that a voice-ordering solution for drive-thru will be part of our restaurants’ future.”

    lmao you… already have one of those? So the subtext of this message is “we can’t just say AI was a terrible idea but yeah, we’re going back to the shit that worked before”

      At least the “just walk out” was a genuine attempt at the tech, created long before the AI craze. Still failed, but they weren’t following a fad.
