It was an umbrella term for stuff we didn’t have yet…then marketing teams remembered it existed. So now it’s either a nonsense term (like a PID is AI now) or it means large language models. Since that is clearly both what mcd’s used and what the follow up message is referring to, I don’t think you need to gatekeep this message. Take that cape off, hero of AI-term-correctness. Flip the dictionary-signal off and turn in to bed.
There is no the AI. There are many, many different algorithms and datasets that we call AI. Saying that this particular issue proves that no AI can be used for education or other tasks is just stupid. These “fuck %thing%” communities attract all the stupidest people that just want to be angry at things they don’t understand.
Yeah I mean what really is the “program” they are calling AI.
I assume a database where they log terms like double cheeseburger, and try to add as many various ways you can say that without overlapping another item then when that is recognized it runs and if statement that points to term names that are recognized as part of the double cheeseburger. 2 pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, 2 patties, 2 slices of cheese, and 2 pieces of bread. If the user mentioned a term such as “take off” “hold” “remove” a function is used to change 2 pickles to 0 or 4.
Then that data set is aggregated into a program that tallies that -2 or +2 pickles changes the cost up/down by said amount. (McDonald’s actually does lower cost if you remove items, I found that interesting…)
Order paid for… 2 patties automatically dropped into the burger making machine (I think that’s still a carbon based meat sack), subtracted from inventory. 2 buns added… dropped.
I assume the hard part is when someone says ,“can you remove the lettuce from the first one” after you added a chicken sandwich and add referring to the burger you ordered earlier… Idk
