Failure Modes
Jun. 8th, 2021 03:05 pmMichigan: the Disease State!

So McDonald's are boldly leading us into the future with their voice-recognition ordering system. It gets orders right 85% of the time, which is about as good as their burger-flippers do, and is much cheaper!
A enthusiastic as I am about automating fast food, I just don't trust McDonald's to do anything right, and that's the honest truth. Instead of forcing customers to talk to a robot, can't you just use some sort of console system like a sensible person? Do they have that many illiterate customers? Is the average McD's customer so far behind the curve that they see IVR as futuristic?

This honestly looks like a guy I used to work with. I'm sure it isn't, but... He was competent at what he did, but served as a sort of comic relief in IT, because stuff like this happened to him constantly. There may have been a curse on him.
