    This is for the drive-thru, so you aren’t punching in what you want. You are looking out of your car window and saying what you want into a microphone for someone to jot down. This is trying to replace the employee taking the order.

        Agree, Google used to be able to turn a light on and off if you enunciated it very clearly. Used to. Before the Gemini “upgrade”.

      So…voice recognition, which has been around for decades? They’re calling that “AI” now? Yes I realize that newer implementations are more advanced. But it’s still a voice recognition system.

      They could have literally just titled the article “McDonald’s introduces voice-recognition drive-thru system, sparking customer backlash.” But that wouldn’t make for an attention-grabbing headline if they didn’t shoe-horn “AI” in there.

        They need AI to tell the difference between Tomato and Tomato, and Soda and Pop and “shivers* " Rootbeer Coke”
